$0.02 suggestion:

see attached, would skip symlinks, i.e. not add a file resulting from following a symlink.

This would avoid "duplicate" files, makes it easier to navigate tagged objects.

Another way to look at this is as follows:

when adding files to a project, a file should not be added if it is already added
( but this would be more work than checking if the file is really a symlink )
