Windows probably isn’t the most popular platform for Git developers ☺, but here goes…
On Windows with an NTFS volume with Deduplication enabled, Git believes that deduplicated files are symlinks.  It then fails to be able to do anything with the file.  This can be repro-ed by creating an NTFS volume with dedup, creating some duplicate files, verifying that a few files are deduped, and trying to add and commit the files via git.
