Is it really that painful to add a switch which makes it preserve links?  Do you
have any understanding of how much of a pain in the ass this "feature" of
disregarding the status of links can be?

You have a program that can easily lock itself into a loop.  This is a _problem_.

Scp is a godsend.  I'd really like to have my only problem with its use cleared up.

(My attitude is, since Berkeley rcp behaved this way, it was broken, too.  Fix
the bug.  Why adamantly adhere to the brokenness of an ancient program?)
