Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bootandy/dust/issues/263

I'd like to have an equivalent of the -L flag of du, that makes it count the size of symlink targets instead of that of symlinks. Since I use nix and git annex, I often encounter directories made only of symlinks, so that feature is very important to me.

The apparent size flag will treat symlinks the same as the actual directories.

-s, --apparent-size

Thanks a lot ! I'll close the issue, but maybe the documentation could be updated to make it easier to understand -s will do that ?
