| FILE GLOB_RECURSE calls should not follow symlinks by default. | |
| In CMake 2.6.1 and below, :command:`file(GLOB_RECURSE)` calls would follow | |
| through symlinks, sometimes coming up with unexpectedly large result sets | |
| because of symlinks to top level directories that contain hundreds of | |
| thousands of files. | |
| This policy determines whether or not to follow symlinks encountered | |
| during a :command:`file(GLOB_RECURSE)` call. The ``OLD`` behavior for this | |
| policy is to follow the symlinks. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is not | |
| to follow the symlinks by default, but only if ``FOLLOW_SYMLINKS`` is given | |
| as an additional argument to the ``FILE`` command. | |
