Yes - that is one of my two problems:
1. It gets messed up on loops created by its own junctions
2. The format of the output is a bit difficult to parse since you have
   to go back up to see what directory you are in.

Ideally, I would like to have the output in 2-columns like:
source1   target1
source 2  target2
etc.

where each source and target are full pathnames.
