 Description   

New cache format takes advantage of symlinks and this may lead to trouble with the FileCollections. It seems that when the artifact is symlinked it does not play fully fair with FileCollections. See below:

FileCollection classpath = ... //contains jars from gradle cache.
File fooJar = classpath.find { it.name.startsWith('foo-') }
assert fooJar //passes
assert fooJar.exists() //passes
assert classpath.contains(fooJar)            //fails even though the file exists and is found in the collection
def newClasspath = classpath - files(fooJar) //has no effect: newClasspath still contains the fooJar

For the real-life example see maven.gradle test.doFirst in Gradle codebase.
