I do not feel very comfortable with the thought. If you have symbolic links somewhere along the path, it is easy to get wrong.

This line of thought got me confused: would

$ ln -s /tmp x $ touch x/y $ git add x/y

Yes, it does. It ignores the fact that x is not a directory, but a symbolic link. Lots of opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot.

Think about the consequences of doing something like this in one repository, where "x" points into another one...
