Output of restic version

restic 0.7.0
compiled with go1.8.3 on windows/amd64

How did you start restic exactly? (Include the complete command line)

restic backup --repo R:\test_backup R:\test

What backend/server/service did you use?

Local.

Expected behavior

The symlink to a directory should be detected just like symlinks to files are.

Actual behavior

warning for test\symlinkdir: invalid node type ""

Steps to reproduce the behavior

restic init --repo R:\test_backup
restic backup --repo R:\test_backup R:\test

R:\test contains a directory called realdir and a symlink to it called symlinkdir created with mklink /D symlinkdir realdir (you'll need an elevated prompt in order to do that). A junction to the directory (mklink /J) behaves the same way (what's the difference? see end of page 431).

Do you have any idea what may have caused this?

Somehow nodeTypeFromFileInfo() is returning "" for a symlink to a directory. It might be a bug in the os package and this is more like an upstream thing?
