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.
- Status changed from New to In Progress
Updates at 96dc323b0 - branch 17800-arvput-no-follow-links
Test run: developer-run-tests: #2521 
- Fixes reported bug by ignoring symlinks (when requested) early in the upload list building process.
- Updates test.
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.
