#1380: tahoe backup doesn't cope with symlinks
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  gdt      |           Owner:  nobody   
     Type:  defect   |          Status:  new      
 Priority:  major    |       Milestone:  undecided
Component:  unknown  |         Version:  1.8.2    
 Keywords:           |   Launchpad Bug:           
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 When running backup on a directory (which is in coda, which probably
 doesn't matter), I get
 {{{
 WARNING: cannot backup symlink '/blah/blah'
 }}}
 I consider symlinks important.  I realize tahoe doesn't have them (maybe
 it should) but this points out that tahoe backup is not a satisfactory
 general solution.
 (I would argue that the backup program and the filesystem used to store
 the files comprising the backup database should be independent anyway.)
