I would bet that /dev/dvd is on a different filesystem than the repository, and /etc/hosts is not. Not that that explains/solves your problem; I'm just speculating on what the difference might be. Git has no problem with symlinks in a more traditionally laid-out repository, so I doubt it's that. This is beyond the scope of git-users.
