Hmm, I want to keep the symlinks in the original tree. So I think there is no way to have both: keeping the original symlinks and having my own symlinks are mutually exclusive options. So I would need to go for your option 2... I had hoped there was an option to do it, or I could have a new option implemented, but I think that is not logically possible.
