Currently, "global -f" expands symlink which points to a directory. 
It is necessary to stop expanding symlink to avoid the reappearance of bug
reported in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-global/2006-10/msg00002.html.
However, <symlink>/.. cannot be correctly treated without following symbolic 
link.
