Dear diff devs,
when recursively comparing directory trees that contain unresolvable symlinks,
both matching symlinks make diff senselessly emit a "No such file or
directory". Wouldn't it be better if diff'ing two perfectly symmetrical dir
trees containing the same broken symlinks would produce no output and a 0
return value?
Best Regards,
Marcel
