How do you exclude a directory that is a symlink?
A thousand greetings,
I'm trying to rsync a directory from a server to my local machine that has
a symbolic link to a directory I don't want to download. I have an
"exclude" option to exclude the symlink which works fine. However, if I add
a --copy-links option to the command, it appears to override my "exclude"
directive and the contents of the symlinked directory

The directory I'm trying to copy from is: /home/blah/dir
The symlink is /home/blah/dir/unwanted_symlinked_dir

How do you exclude a directory that is a symlink?
...s.
I think both situations could benefit from a --resolve-cmd-line-links switch
to resolve COMMAND LINE-SUPPLIED symlinks.
