Requesting option to not follow symlinks #34

I'm trying to recursively add a tag all the files and folders in a path, which is working perfectly except that I have added a simlink to a directory on an external read-only drive, and it's now giving me the error tag: The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -8058.). Could you maybe add an option to not follow links?

Could be done. Patches welcome.
