It looks like DirectoryScanner already avoids scanning directories it's already
encountered (via hasBeenScanned(String)). I haven't verified this actually
works as intended though, and it only seems to fire on fast scans.

I'd struggle to imagine a real use case for a symlink to a parent directory
that I'd actually want to recurse through, but it'd be sensible if you're
looking for a bullet-proof general solution.
