           Summary: Delete task follows symlinks - bad behavior
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.5
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: elkner@linofee.org


If one uses <delete dir="${build.dir}"/> the delete task follows symlinks and
thus deletes files, which shouldn't be deleted. If one uses a fileset and
disables followsymlinks, symlinks are not followed, however the links itself are
not deleted and thus the delete task does not do, what it should.

I'll attach a fix suggestion for the <delete dir="${build.dir}"/> task (since
this is actually, what I really need), for filesets it probably needs a little
bit more work ...
