Message-ID: <CAPpP+uW=ReKkUnz4PMEyhchcafd0qtgSZ_Qg0Hq77k4u+aPUyQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Both windows and linux support links but both git and the git bash
seem to have a problem with them.

In my source, (originally on Linux) I have a link in my source
directory to a config file which I normally import into python.  This
allows me to have something.py pointing to config.txt .  config.txt
can be opened by an editor and something.py can be imported into a
python shell.

This worked in Linux alone and on windows  as both platforms support
links.  But if I use git to bring my code from linux to windows I end
up with a file that contains the path to the target file.

Then I went to try to see what git bash would do with a link.

I created a file and a link to it using ln -s
This created a copy of the file I wanted to link to.

What do you think?
Should this work better?
