Comment (by amiller):

 I rewrote my previous patch from 4 months ago (I forgot I ever posted it
 here) but nothing has changed in my approach.

 I have now added a unit test that creates a directory with a symlink cycle
 and shows what happens. Cycles are only followed up to 3 levels deep.
 Other notable behavior is that multiple symlinks to the same file will be
 uploaded to tahoe_lafs multiple times as separate files.
