Follow symlinks?

Is it just me or doesn't bitpocket follow symlinks?
I would kill for that as a feature
added -L to the rsync lines in bin/bitpocket
@sickill, are you planning on including this?
+1
I prefer to sync symlinks as symlinks, without dereferencing (dereferencing drives me crazy in Dropbox).
But I think I can introduce some variable like RSYNC_OPTS to .bitpocket/config file where you could specify additional switches for rsync. What do you think?
@sickill RSYNC_OPTS sounds like a good suggestion, tho I like to be able to follow symlinks since ~/ differs from machine to machine. For some reason the symlink is broken, and just takes place as a regular folder and/or file, when I've completed one sync
I like the idea of RSYNC_OPTS, that'd be perfect. Would you want this variable to contain all the switches for rsync, or just those which are customizable? I think the latter might be a better idea. Thanks!
I think it only should contain the customizable, just to minimize
breakage

Agreed! RSYNC_OPTS, with customizable options/switches, would be brilliant.
I'm atleast adding that to my fork
Awesome!
