Why should it? Git does not follow symbolic links regardless whether
they point to files or directories. In fact, Git does extra checks to
avoid something like: symlink-to-dir/normal-file to be added as a
normal file. There was some discussion about it a couple months ago
("Not going beyond symbolic links").
