Bug ID: 517117
Summary: Broken symlink handling is non-ideal
Classification: Applications
Product: kup
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: usability
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
Kup helpfully warns you about broken symlinks (target file/folder not included
in backup plan), but only suggests one option: include the folder containing
the target. This isn't always practical.
A specific example is a KDE development environment in ~/kde. I'd like to
exclude ~/kde/build, but if I do this, the warning will appear for *every
single repo* because it contains a compile_commands.json symlink that points to
the excluded build directory.
It would be nice if you could tell Kup to either:
1. ignore these issues and just blindly include the broken symlinks
2. don't include any broken symlinks
