I modified it to use mklink via cmd.exe. I have an open pull request on GitHub: https://github.com/git/git/pull/9. I'm not sure how permanent that link is, so here is a link to the file in my fork of git: https://github.com/dansmith65/git/blob/master/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir-win - Dan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: snaewe Date: Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 1:31 AM Subject: Re: [git] git-new-workdir for Windows (#9) To: dansmith65@gmail.com I guess this might get more attention at the git mailing list at git@vger.kernel.org. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/git/git/pull/9#issuecomment-1372088 ``` ## Ramkumar Ramachandra, 2011-06-20 05:50 Subject: Re: git-new-workdir for Windows (#9) Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/BANLkTinosK6uDdqoRwk8j20y08JwM2HxTw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Daniel, Daniel Smith writes: > The git-new-workdir script creates copies of files instead of symbolic > links, when run from Git Bash on Windows Vista.

However, we can't accept patches via pull requests on GitHub. Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches to submit a neatly formatted patch so that we can consider it for inclusion. Also, please consider patching the existing git-new-workdir script to work with GitBash instead of creating one from scratch. Thanks. -- Ram ```
