The previous check does not account for multiple levels of symlinks: given a -> b -> c, a would match b.
Note, I don't use Windows and can't actually verify it, I only saw it reading the code. But if it's wrong hopefully the existing
test_do_not_collect_symlink_siblings
test will catch it on Windows CI.
