symlink ignore option...

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. symlink isn't supported by dropbox api. So it tells you of a synch issue each synch.

Describe the solution you'd like when telling you of a synch issue add 2 options:

  1. to create a blank file of that name in dropbox online copy, as this then stops/ignores the issue, yes the file is useless. But syncing then has no issue.
  2. delete the local symlink.

Just wanted to second (third..) this issue. Another solution in addition to those mentioned by @smellymoo would be to optionally add all symlinks to the .mignore file. For now one can do this manually, or ideally automate it in a short shell script.

(And thanks for such an amazing and useful tool!)
