+The attribute <code>followsymlinks</code> of <code>fileset</code> is fully supported on
+local (put) as well as remote (get, chmod, delete) filesets.

+In order to exclude symbolic links (preserve the behavior of ant 1.5.x and older),
+you need to explicitly set <code>followsymlinks</code> to <code>false</code>.</em>
