I'd imagine so: symbolic links are not portable across different file systems; Git's internal representation of a symbolic link is a file containing the path of the file to be linked to. > I've not found information about that in documentation, so I do a report. Hm, the description says: Look for specified patterns in the tracked files in the work tree, blobs registered in the index file, or blobs in given tree objects. Hm, "tracked files in the work tree" is definitely sub-optimal: "blobs corresponding to the tracked files in the work tree" is probably better. Then again, I think the description is too cryptic for an end-user: do you have any suggestions? Have we mentioned how Git handles symbolic links anywhere in the documentation? If not, where should this information go? -- Ram -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
