The git-new-workdir script creates copies of files instead of symbolic links, when run from Git Bash on Windows Vista. I modified it to use mklink via cmd.exe. I have an open pull request on GitHub: https://github.com/git/git/pull/9.

I'm not sure how permanent that link is, so here is a link to the file in my fork of git: https://github.com/dansmith65/git/blob/master/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir-win

I guess this might get more attention at the git mailing list at git@vger.kernel.org.
