I think scp should have an option to ignore symlinks so it won't go into an
endless loop when copying circular links. I wrote a patch and I'll attach it
once the bug is created. This issue has already been discussed before and it was
made clear no modification should be done on the protocol but this option only
check if a file is a link and doesn't send it if it is one. Which means the
protocol remains unchanged.
