I'm preparing a PR to vinyl-fs to signifcantly reduce the number of fs operations by leveraging node-glob's caches. However there's a
resolveSymlinks
option which users set to false to obtain stats of the link, rather than the target, for symlink matches.Currently this has us do three stats (an lstat and stat in node-glob, and then another lstat in vinyl-fs). This PR, or something like it, would allow me to reduce that to just one (lstat).
PS I've included a commit from another PR to make Appveyor pass.
