This change deals with symlinks properly when performing history based reindex. It makes the code robust enough to avoid having directory entries in
IndexDownArgs
.When I was writing the code for history based reindex, I remember brushing the need to use
accept()
away for some reason. It seems this was not a good idea as it provides a way how to deal with symlinks.While at it, I changed some of the log statements to be in line with the style of wrapping paths inside single quotes used throughout the code base.
