Hi,

I think Junio is right: we should not force everybody not to use symlinks, only because there happens to be VFAT-, SMB- or HTTP-shared repositories. As Junio says, if there are people experiencing problems because they lack symbolic links, they should fix it.

On the other hand, I think it would be useful to be able to configure the behaviour via .git/config.

Ciao, Dscho
