[RFC] new --skip-symlink option for Gtags(1)

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,

Last month, a question was posted to the help mailing list.

Here is the question:

> Is there a way to avoid descending into symbolic links ?

It can be realized with find(1) + gtags, but it is not simple.

How about adding the following option?

--skip-symlink[=type]

        Skip symbolic links. If type is 'f' then skip only symbolic links

        for file, else if 'd' then skip only symbolic links for directory.

        The default value of type is 'a' (skip all symbolic links).

Is this a correct way to do that?

Is there any problem?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Shigio
