Description
A customer reported an incorrect behavior on the arv-put command when used with --no-follow-links:
$ arv-put --no-follow-links /path/to/some-dir/
and
$ arv-put --no-follow-links /path/to/some-dir/*
Should produce the same collection, but if /path/to/some-dir/ has some symbolic links inside, the second execution will not ignore them.

Code LGTM.
Which behavior is "correct" seems debatable: it might be surprising that "arv-put --no-follow-symlinks foo" just creates an empty collection if foo itself is a symlink.
Perhaps worth adding something to the --help message to clarify?
-Do not follow file and directory symlinks. +Do not follow file and directory symlinks. Even paths given explicitly on the command line will be skipped if they are symlinks.
