I'm running on Windows, using msysgit. I have some files that were supposed to be
symbolic links, but don't come out that way. I see them as plain files containing a
relative name of another file. To make things work, I copied the actual file over the
would-be link. I don't want to check in that change.
I set up a .gitignore, and it works for the directory in general, but three files that
were symbolic links it keeps finding anyway: deleted symlink (for those that were
directories) and binary files don't match (for a file). Even though those are under the
directory I excluded with the .gitignore, it reports those anyway.
How do I tell my local copy of git to really ignore those? I don't want to stage it by
accident.
