In Git for Windows' SDK, Git's source code is always checked out
with symlinks disabled. The reason is that POSIX symlinks have no
accurate equivalent on Windows [*1*]. More precisely, though, it is
not just Git's source code but *all* source code that is checked
out with symlinks disabled: core.symlinks is set to false in the
system-wide gitconfig.

Since the perf tests are run with the system-wide gitconfig *disabled*,
we have to make sure that the Git repository is initialized correctly
by configuring core.symlinks explicitly.
