[Csync2] symlinks

Is there any reason why csync2 uses the dereferenced path when symlinks
are involved?

I have one server with the directory tree "/home/samba/shared", and
another where /home is symlinked to /data/home. On the second server, a
"csync2 -xvv /home/samba/shared/filename" shows that csync2 is actually
looking for /data/home/samba/shared/filename, which it ignores because it
isn't in the csync2.cfg file. This seems wrong to me: given that csync2
syncs the same directory name on each side, I should be able to use
symlinks to map a different structure.
