For now I shall workaround the issue by disabling use of symlinks on Windows in Git (git config --system core.symlinks false) however that is not an ideal long term fix. Do we have any contacts at CMake we can escalate this bug to? As for why this didn't show up earlier - it seems our Windows builders for Jenkins have symlinks disabled (indicating that either the feature was still too experimental back then or that we did hit this back then and worked around it then as well) > Any ideas? > > Thanks, > Ben > Cheers, Ben
