Description
Created attachment 214283 Skip symlinks in checksum plugin
The checksum plugin doesn't currently skip symlinks from processing, which can lead to almost infinite loops (ie. until the open call end ups returning ELOOP), and also to checksumming large parts of the disk which do not belong to the project (eg. there's a symink to /home).
I found it while looking at the files it was checksumming, in a project with such hierarchy.
Patch attached.
Patch 214283, "Skip symlinks in checksum plugin":
