  1. On machine1, within my /home/user/BTsync folder, I create a folder called "symlink_test". I create another folder called ".symlink_test" (it starts with a dot, i.e., a hidden folder). Within symlink_test, I make a symlink to a file in the home directory (ln -s /home/user/somefile.txt .). Within .symlink_test, I make the same symlink. In symlink_test, the symlink gets handled normally. It is copied as is from machine1 to machine2, so machine2 now has an identical symlink that points to /home/user/somefile.txt In .symlink_test, it does not get copied to machine2. After a few minutes, it does appear on machine2, but at that point, it disappears from machine1! Then after a few more minutes, it travels back to machine1 and disappears from machine2. This back-and-forth continues indefinitely. This must be a bug. I see no other reason why the two symlinks should be handled differently simply because one of the subdirectories starts with a "." I hadn't noticed this issue before upgrading to 2.0, but it could have been present before. I'm using BitTorrent Sync only on Linux.
