Greetings from Russia, comrads!

I've noticed something strange with git status when replacing a folder with symlink to another folder. There is a git repo with script with demo in the attachment.

Yours sincerely, NickKolok aka Nikolay Avdeev.

Доброго времени суток, товарищи!

При замене папки на симлинк на другую папку с похожими, но не одинаковыми файлами git status ведёт себя странно. Прилагаю архив с репозиторием. В скрипте - пример и пояснения.

С уважением, Николай Авдеев aka NickKolok.
