I wasn't sure of the original intent so I left it disabled by default, but I'm all for having it be the default case as long as it handles cycles during the walk and it doesn't effect Windows users. I'll test and makes sure that it doesn't introduce any issues there and if not make it the default.

Initially the use case was for templates to be self contained, eg a git repo so there was no real need for symlinks

If we use an option, I'd rather have it follow_symlinks

Was recently shopping around for a good scaffolding tool for projects and found kickstart, the only feature missing for me was the ability to follow symlinks so I can share common files between templates. This simple PR adds the ability to follow symlinks as a template config parameter but does not change the default behavior.
