Hello,I am coming back to bug https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/tickets/41/. In the discussion of this problem it was said that - msys2 does not used symlinks by default, because MSW applications do not understand the symlinks - when msys2 is configured to use symlinks, these are ``cygwin symlinks'' and you need to operate with administrator rights.
You're misquoting the discussion. It should be: MSYS2 doesn't create Cygwin-y symlinks (except special circumstances), although it does understand them. It copies the target instead, because "MSW" programs don't understand Cygwin-y symlinks. It can be configured to create native NTFS symlinks, but that has other limitations<https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Symbolic-Links>. -- David Macek
