When the directory structure is changed, I have some tools to fix broken links. I'm wondering if git support symbolic links. -- Regards, Peng ``` ## Shawn O.

Git stores the path the symlink points to, and restores the symlink to have the same target path when the "file" is checked out on another system. -- Shawn. ```
