So, whats the status of symlinks and windows?
(And JUNCTIONs too I suppose).
I have
VSLICK=+ssymlinkdirs
set.
If I try to open the same file, with different paths due to symlink folders), it figures that out and opens using the real path.
Yet, when I do a recursive search it will follow symlinks and show duplicate results.
If I have a loop due to symlinks, it will still follow the link but not indefinitely...
Given this folder tree:
C:\Users\joe\Documents\x\PipeToVs.vpw
C:\Users\joe\Documents\x\sub1\PipeToVs.vpw
C:\Users\joe\Documents\x\sub1\suby\ -----> [symlink ..\subX]
C:\Users\joe\Documents\x\subX\ -----> [symlink sub1]
A recursive search give these results
Find all "PipeToVs.vpj", Subfolders, List filenames only, "C:\Users\joe\Documents\x", "*.vpw", Exclude:

I'm guessing that Windows is itself somehow preventing deeper recursion here by limiting the number of symlinks it will resolve. True?
