Grive Init Fails on Infinite Recursive Symbolic Links

[ymzong]

When I am initializing grive by running grive -a, after around ten minutes I get the following error:

exception: boost::filesystem::status: Too many levels of symbolic links: "./projects/imapsync-master/W/Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/IMAPClient/MessageSet.pm

Apparently, the problem is caused by the SymLink inside IMAPClient that points to itself. I think we may simply fix it by skipping any symlink that point back to its own directory (.).

How do you do go about skipping them? What is the command to do that?
