Note there is a certain kind of not-being-BWC in this change. Prior to the patch if you said <delete file="foo"/> and foo happened to be a symbolic link pointing nowhere, Ant would not delete anything (and just note that there was no such file in verbose mode). <delete dir="foo"/> would even silently ignore it. Now, not only will <delete> try to delete the link it may also fail the delete task if File.delete() returns false on the link. Should we document this more prominently (to me, this is the behaviour one would actually expect)?
