`--follow` and `--recursive` add seem to conflict

Describe the bug
Issuing chezmoi add --follow --recursive abc
(the --recursive
is there for redundancy) when .abc
is a symlink pointing to a directory, only the directory but not it's contents are added the chezmoi.
To reproduce
mkdir -p test
touch test/a
touch test/b
touch test/c
ln -s test abc
chezmoi add --follow --recursive abc
chezmoi managed
# observe that abc/a, abc/b, abc/c, are missing and only abc is managed
Expected behavior
All files a
, b
, and c
should be managed.
As a quick update on this, I did some investigation in this branch. This is definitely a bug in chezmoi, but due to chezmoi's current implementation it's really hard to fix. chezmoi stat
s the symlink (abc
in the example you give) in multiple different places and needs to treat it as a directory for --follow
but as a path component for --recursive
.
