Doesn't work with symlinks

Test:

cd ~/Dropbox
mkdir test
echo '*' > test/.dbignore
mkdir test/a.txt
ln -s test test2

test/a.txt doesn't get synced, but test2/a.txt does. I would expect dbignore to ignore them both.

Maybe stat isn't called for symlinks? I'll have to check it out.

Would be great with some progress on this! I have symlinked my Lightroom library, which has a zillion temporary preview files, and when DB decides to sync them all it really kills my CPU. Honestly DBignore is the one thing that can save Dropbox for me, because right now its often rendering my Yosemite mac useless due to CPU usage..
