## Design
-During snapshotting resolution of the filesystem and the objects it contains should be handled
-consistently and with a pair of APIs.
-
-### First API
-The first API will generate a list of filepaths to resolve
-
-The API should take a limited set of arguments
-* A filesystem root
-
-The API should return only two arguments
-* A set of filepaths to resolve
-* error
-
-The API will walk the filesystem similar to how Snapshotting of the full
-filesystem is currently handled.
-
-It will optimize the walk by skipping any whitelisted directories.
-
-It will not resolve symlinks.
-
-### Second API
-The second API will resolve filepaths to be added to the layer
-
-Callers of the first API can pass the output to the second API
-
-Some callers of the second API will not use the first API (e.g. Copy commands)
+During snapshotting, filepaths should be resolved using a consitent API which
+takes into account both symlinks and whitelist.
* Callers of this API should not be concerned with the type of object at a given filepath (e.g. symlink or not).
* Callers of this API should not be concerned with whether a given path is whitelisted.
-* This API should return a set of filepaths which should be added to the layer
- without further processing.
+* This API should return a set of filepaths which can be checked for changes
+ without further link resolution or whitelist checking.
The API should take a limited set of arguments
* A list of absolute filepaths to scan
* The whitelist
The API should return only two arguments
-* A set of filepaths which should be added to the layer without further
- processing
-* error
+* A set of filepaths
+* error or nil
The API will iterate over the set of filepaths and for each item
* check whether it is whitelisted; if it is, skip it
-* check whether it is a symlink; if it is, resolve the link ancestor and the
- target, add the link ancestor to the output, check whether the target is whitelisted and if
+* check whether it is a symlink
+ * if it is a symlink
+ * resolve the link ancestor (nearest ancestor which is a symlink) and the
+ target
+ * add the link ancestor to the output
+ * check whether the target is whitelisted and if
not add the target to the output

Given some link `/foo/link/bar` whose target is a whitelisted path such as
`/var/run`, should `/foo/link/bar` be added to the layer?
