No, I don't, but I've seen this particular issue on Stack Overflow probably four or five times and answered it each time. I didn't think to look at the Git for Windows issue tracker, since I just considered it a difference between how Windows and Linux report symbolic links, not something that could theoretically be fixed. Obviously I was wrong. If I see more Windows-related problems show up on Stack Overflow that aren't on the issue tracker, I'll send folks your way to report them. I want to assure you that I'm not intentionally depriving you of the information you need to fix problems; in this case, I just didn't think of it as a thing that could be fixed. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
