If the file source is a directory, then this option
determines whether the directory should be recursively
linked to the target location. This option has no effect
if the source is a file.
</para><para>
If <literal>false</literal> (the default) then the target
will be a symbolic link to the source directory. If
<literal>true</literal> then the target will be a
directory structure matching the source's but whose leafs
are symbolic links to the files of the source directory.
