rspec not following symlinks into a directory to find specs.

Took one lib and one spec directory from application A for use in application B. Call the two directories DD. They went into their own repository.

DD was pulled into the subtrees/DD directory:

B/
  app/
  lib/
  spec/
  subtrees/
    DD/
      lib/
      spec/

So that the two directories would look integrated into B, we used symlinks:

B/
  app/
  lib/
    DD -> ../subtrees/DD/lib
  spec/
    lib/
      DD -> ../../subtrees/DD/spec
  subtrees/
    DD/
      lib/
      spec/

rake spec would find all the specs inside spec, but it would not run the DD specs.

rspec spec/lib/DD/ would run the subtree specs.
