Subject: Follows symlinks in an unfortunate fashion.

From: Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell [...] digitalkingdom.org>
ack follows symlinks if they point to directories, and this can't be turned off. In the main place that I want to use ack, near-infinite symlink loops abound, and they're supposed to be there, so I can't use it. Please give a flag to stop following directory symlinks! -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
