 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/192381
 
 Log:
   find: do not silently disable -L when -delete is used
   
   First of all, current behavior is not documented and confusing,
   and it can be very dangerous in the following sequence:
   find -L . -type l
   find -L . -type l -delete
   (the second line is even suggested by find(1)).
   
   Instead simply refuse to proceed when -L and -delete are both used.
   A descriptive error message is provided.
   The following command can be safely used to remove broken links:
   find -L . -type l -print0 | xargs rm -0
   
   To do:		update find(1)
