symlink to parent directory

    Does NinjaScanner check for a loop condition when following symlinks?

    We sometimes install WordPress like this:

    public_html – main site
    public_html/blog – wordpress

    We would like to scan the main site. We usually scan other directories by adding a symlink:

    public_html/blog/scan/<link-to-directory>

    But if we do this with the main site (blog parent) we’re afraid it may endlessly loop when it tries to rescan /blog:

    public_html/blog/scan/<link-to-public_html>

    It doesn’t check for a loop condition, because that would be quite difficult to implement for several reasons.
    Could you try, if possible, to copy the content of the ‘public_html/’ folder (minus the ‘/blog/’ subfolder, of course) into, for instance, ‘public_html/blog/public_html_copy/’, run the NinjaScanner and then delete ‘public_html_copy/’ after the scan?
