<p dir="auto">The issue seems to be with <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">tree</code>. The manual says:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">By default, when a symbolic link is encountered,
the path that the symbolic link refers to is
printed after the name of the link in the format:
name -> real-path
If the `-l' option is given and the symbolic link
refers to an actual directory, then tree will
follow the path of the symbolic link as if it were
a real directory.

<p dir="auto">The <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">pass</code> command uses <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">--prune</code> to suppress empty directories, but it seems to these symbolic links are not pruned.</p>
<p dir="auto">Interestingly though, without the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">-l</code> option (to follow symbolic links to folders) then <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">tree</code> <em>will</em> omit the symbolic link info.</p>
<p dir="auto">So as a workaround, you can remove <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">-l</code> from the call to <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">tree</code>.</p>
