One gotcha In Windows 7 and Vista, when the working directory path ends with a symbolic link, the current parent path reference, .., will refer to the parent directory of the symbolic link rather than that of its target. This difference could break the importer code if it's playing with .. path components. Another gotcha could be if you are creating a reparse point instead of a simlink. Reparse points aren't trasparent to applications, so the importer would need to be written to support reparse points a.k.a junctions. In Windows I simply rename w2p's .git and .gitignore to .git-trunk and .gitignore-trunk then git init my app repo exactly where .git-trunk is. This way the two repos can physically co-exist but operationally they don't because only one of them can be named .git at any given time. So there's no chance of loosing app files when pulling w2p, nor need to worry about symlinks. The thing to keep in mind is switching to the right repo by temporarily renaming both of their folders, i.e., REN .git/ .git-apps/ && REN .git-trunk .git && git pull origin && REN .git .git-trunk && REN .git-apps .git (untested and don't forget .gitignore)
