lchiocca fc555cc2de The stat() function should be independent of core.symlinks
The contract for the stat() and lstat() function is:
> stat():  stats the file pointed to by path and fills in buf.
> lstat(): is identical to stat(), except that if path is a symbolic link,
>          then the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to.

stat() should always return the statistics of the file or directory a
symbolic link is pointing to. The lstat() function is used to get the
stats for the symlink. Hence the check should not be there.
