--- Comment #5 from Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> ---
Keep in mind that "cp -r" doesn't dereference symlinks -- that takes their -L
option (similar to rsync's --copy-links). If someone is copying a file tree and
turning symlinks into real files/dirs, they should really know in advance what
the symlinks are in order for the copy to be safe. Yes, we could stop looping
with some additional checks. It might be worth it to at least not follow '.'
and "..".
