Thanks for your prompt response Juno. That make sense. The fact that you were unable to reproduce this tells me that there is probably something fishy/unexpected with the environment in which I tried this (which is not too surprising, given that I was doing it inside a linux container, inside a virtual machine, where both of these were setup using a scripts which ultimately failed after the git init step, due to the symlink behavior I described, but most likely this is my own fault). I should have tried to reproduce this on a clean slate before posting this question.
