Re: [Anjuta-list] importing symbolic links

[Biswapesh Chattopadhyay <biswapesh_chatterjee tcscal co in>]

It should be pretty trivial to implmenet. A quick fix solution is to
remove lines 119 to 121 in tagmanager/tm_file_entry.c. The lines are:
        /* TTimo - don't follow symlinks */
        if (tm_file_entry_type(path) == tm_file_link_t)
                return NULL;

Then, in line 138, after case tm_file_regular_t:
Add:
'case tm_file_link_t:'

We'll probably make it a preference in HEAD though.
