I have a package with a source that looks like this:

MANIFEST.in
Prototype/libraries/jquery.js
Prototype/style/main.css
my/
my/package/
my/package/templates/libraries -> ../../../Prototype/libraries
my/package/templates/style -> ../../../Prototype/style
what I would like to accomplish is that when a bdist is made either
Prototype/ is installed somewhere and the symlinks point to it, or
the symlinks are replaced with a copy of the data they point to.
For a package maintained in subverion this works: when the sdist is
created the symlink is replaced with a copy of the thing it points
to, which is then included in the bdist. For a package maintained in
git this does not work: the symlink always appears to be ignored. Is there
a way to accomplish this?
Most likely, the problem is with the file finder being used. Are you
using a git plugin for setuptools, or simply listing everything in
MANIFEST.in? If the former, it may be that the git plugin you're
using simply doesn't support symlinks. If you're not using a git
plugin, perhaps there is something amiss in the MANIFEST.in, and
setuptools' built-in support for subversion is hiding the problem by
picking up the symlinks.
