It seems by default, vim overwrites windows symlinks with a copy of
the file on save. This is instead of following the symlink and writing
to the correct location.

I have some setting in my .vimrc (not sure which one) that slightly
alters this behavior. It writes to the symlinked location, but makes
the file read-only, and then opening the file again in a new vim
instance, and doing wq! destroys the symlink again like in the first
case. For reference, this is for symlinks made in cmd.exe with "mklink
target source"

Any ideas about this? If there is no workaround, any suggestions on
where to look in the code to make a fix?
