Subject: Symlinks in recursive glob

Hi all,

is there a way to not dereference symlinks in a recursive glob?

Long story:
I want to search upwards for a file like
`print (../)#.shorten_folder_marker(:a:h)`, but that dereferences symlinks.
If I remove the :a modifier I get a relative path, which I cannot use as
well. The use case is that I want to truncate the folder to the point where
the .shorten_folder_marker exists. This may be a symlinked directory.
e.g. I have /tmp/test/1/2/3 and /tmp is a symlink to /private/tmp.

Both chasedots and chaselinks are turned off.

I've seen solutions to this with either using find or traversing the path
up manually.. Both solutions seem cumbersome to me.

Thanks,
Dominik
