From: Justus Ranvier Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2021 01:07:44 GMT Subject: gitignore as symbolic link Message-ID: I have several repositories where the top level .gitignore file is a symbolic link to the actual file which is contained in a submodule which all the repositories share. This worked fine up to and including version 2.31.1 but as of 2.32.0 running any command which would cause .gitignore to be read results in a "too many levels of symbolic links error" and git behaves as if .gitignore is not present.
