[feature request] Add mode to hash symlink's path instead of a file it is pointing at #282
Description
Background: after doing backup of some hierarchy to the target machine (probably with different OS/distro/etc), some symlinks might become dangling (pointing nowhere) or point to existing file but with different contents.
It is quite normal for a backup, but when I'd like to check backup consistency by running rhash over it and compare hash logs with the same logs created on backup source, symlinks cause major pain, since now I can't automatically compare hash logs to be sure everything is backed up correctly -- some hashes of symlinks poiniting outside backed up hierarchy would differ or not exist.
The requested feature (which should not be enabled by default) would solve the problem.
