Hi,

I've been tracking an svn repository using git-svn and today when I did:

   git svn rebase
   (which is equivalent to git svn fetch && git rebase
   remotes/git-svn)
I got errors like this:
error: git-checkout-index: unable to create symlink Category/Makefile (Invalid argument)

Now while my file system isn't smart enough to tell the difference between t and T, it does support symlinks AFAIK.

git version 1.5.0.2.293.g102a0
I can provide more info if it would help.
+ seth
