I'm all for a change that widens the group of applications and users that can use jgit (heck, that's one reason we moved to it to a BSD license). But we really cannot abandon Windows users in that process, so yea, anything that tries to use symlinks is bad. I don't think there is a Cygwin based version of the JVM. That would be a very interesting beast. -- Shawn.
