[git-users] Symlink implementation for Windows

[Raviraj]

Hi,

 

On a Windows machine, I have created a symlink with ‘mklink’ command.

When I try to add this with git add, I get exception that function readlink 
is not implemented.

 

I have come across the google group discussion 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/msysgit/mT-v-mmZy6M saying it is 
not supported.

Does this remain same or will the symlinks be supported in Windows anytime?

 

BTW, my errors are like this:

 

error: readlink("fd2_dbg/drivers.a"): Function not implemented

error: unable to index file debug/drive.a

fatal: adding files failed

 

Regards,

Raviraj
