gitweb: do not choke on recursive symlink
If somebody used to advertise his repository that physically resides at /pub/lic.git/ as: git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/ but now wants to use --base-path to allow: git://git.example.com/lic.git/ she can start git-daemon with --base-path option, like this: git-daemon --base-path=/pub --export-all During the transition, however, she would also want to allow older URL as well. One natural way to achieve that is to create a symlink: ln -s /pub /pub/pub so that a request to git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/ is first translated by --base-path to a request to /pub/pub/lic.git/ which goes to /pub/lic.git, thanks to the symlink. So far so good. However, gitweb chokes if there is such a symlink (File::Find barfs with "/pub/pub is a recursive symbolic link"). Make the code ignore such a symlink.
