  Because it can never be consistent.
  What happens when I create two symlinks to the same folder, and put one link into includeFolders, the other one in excludeFolders?
  
  What really should happen, the indexer should **never** follow symlinks, but only add files by their canonical path. This avoids a bunch of problems, symlink loops, nondeterministic pathes for files when these are added to the index, ...
