copy fileset followsymlinks="false" does not copy symlinks at all

           Summary: copy fileset followsymlinks="false" does not copy
                    symlinks at all
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ruvinsky@yahoo.com


When I copy a fileset that has followsymlink="false" any symlinks encountered 
in the fileset get excluded.  This seems like the wrong behavior, as I would 
expect the symlink to get copied as-is (in its symlink form) -- e.g., 
emulating "cp -a".
