What Ray Donnelly said.
Git installs itself that way. To have symlinks, you have to enforce them[1].

It's possible to create tarballs with symlinks (and sbuild does that),
but:
1) they require somewhat special handling when unpacking
2) they must be unpacked with Cygwin tar (or something compatible - i.e.
not 7zip).

Another way is to separate symlink metadata into a file, transfer it
along the data, then re-create symlinks after unpacking. I have a piece
of software for that. But using Cygwin tar (well, MSYS2 tar in my case)
is simpler, so that's what i do.
