Actually, does just adding:
links => follow
do the right thing for you?

Bug #5285: Error "Could not evaluate: Got nil value for content" when trying to
serve a symlink's content from the server

I want to serve a file using a symlink (but it should serve it's content):
<pre>
file { "/root/.gitconfig":
source => "puppet:///files/gitconfig-root",
}
</pre>
<pre>
root@puppetmaster # ls -l /etc/puppet/files/gitconfig-root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 13 17:39 /etc/puppet/files/gitconfig-root ->
/root/.gitconfig
</pre>
/root/.gitconfig exists and is a regular file.
Here's the trace:
<pre>
# puppetd --test --trace --verbose
