[S3tools-general] s3cmd sync, and symlinks

[Aaron M. <am...@re...>]

Hi Michal, everyone,

Right now, "s3cmd sync local_dir s3://remote" will skip over symbolic links, 
and doesn't provide any way to override that behavior.  Is there a plan to 
add this soon?

If not, are you interested in getting a patch for it? I need this 
functionality myself; if it's not already in progress I may be available to 
work on it, if you're interested.

The action I'm talking about takes place in  _get_filelist_local() [0]:
if os.path.islink(full_name):
    ## Synchronize symlinks... one day
    ## for now skip over
    continue

Cheers,
Aaron
