Compress-Archive should expose -FollowSymlink parameter #94
Description
Summary of the new feature/enhancement
Compress-Archive should be able to compress files in symbolic link directories. Currently, if you have a directory structure like:
folder_to_compress
|--regular_subdir
| |--regular_file
|--symlink_subdir
|--symlink_file
and you run
Compress-Archive -Path .\folder_to_compress -DestinationPath compressed.zip
The output file is missing symlink_subdir and symlink_file, at least on Windows.
Proposed technical implementation details
Expose -FollowSymlink from Get-ChildItem as a parameter to Compress-Archive, or use -FollowSymlink by default.
