Do not index a directory more than once (1023 bytes, patch)

Description Peter Oliver 2004-11-14 18:16:46 UTC 
When Muine indexes directories for audio files, it doesn't treat symlinks in a
special way.  This causes a couple of problems.

If there are symlinks from one part of the indexed directory hierarchy to
another, songs appear twice in the song list, despite only existing once on disk.

If their are recursive symliks, muine repeatedly indexes the same files.

Do not index a directory more than once

The attatched patch fixes half of the problem by preventing muine from
following recursive symlinks.  It keeps a list of visited directories and skips
any that it has already seen.

However, it uses Mono.Unix.UnixPath.GetRealPath, which is currently only
available with mono HEAD.

Thanks for the patch. The plan is however to use canonicalized uris when we use
gnome-vfs support.. that should do the trick.

Any progress on this bug? Are canonical URLS being used already?
