> Explicitly skip recorded symlinks in --setperms

This is the right thing to do, regardless of anything else. Permission bits are not applicable for symlinks so we simply should *never* try to set them, no matter what.

It's the ghosts and goblins part where things get confusing, if you let the mind wander there :ghost:
