Convert relative symlinks to absolute

Relative symlinks are great, but as soon as you try to move them around, they break. The solution is to temporarily make them absolute links, move them, then re-link them in their new relative location. So if you have a whole bunch of symlinks within a directory, and you want to move the directory, it'd be a real pain unless there were a way to batch-convert all of them to absolute. Then once you move the folder, just run symlinks -c
on it and boom.
It would be as simple as making an -a
flag that would alter the behavior of -c
.
