I have some relatively large data directories in my source tree which tend

However, the source distribution tarball generated by

is essentially 5 times too large because the symlinks are replaced with
(redundant) real directories and files.
I believe this is a bug/misfeature in 2.4.7 since symlinks should just be
propagated from the source tree to the source distribution tarball (to save
download bandwidth of the tarball and the user's disk space.) I don't know
whether this issue occurs for older versions of CMake since I have never
before had symlinks in the source tree to contend with.
If somebody can come up with a quick fix, I would be glad to test it out.
This is now bug 5430.
