gitweb: do not choke on recursive symlink
If somebody used to advertise his repository that physically
resides at /pub/lic.git/ as:
git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/
but now wants to use --base-path to allow:
git://git.example.com/lic.git/
she can start git-daemon with --base-path option, like this:
git-daemon --base-path=/pub --export-all
During the transition, however, she would also want to allow
older URL as well. One natural way to achieve that is to create
a symlink:
ln -s /pub /pub/pub
so that a request to git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/ is first
translated by --base-path to a request to /pub/pub/lic.git/
which goes to /pub/lic.git, thanks to the symlink.
So far so good.
However, gitweb chokes if there is such a symlink (File::Find
barfs with "/pub/pub is a recursive symbolic link"). Make the
code ignore such a symlink.
