I do not know this is an appropriate itch to scratch for a Windows developer to begin with. The new-workdir setting *is* about symlinked .git/ metainfo space. If somebody wants to work on a filesystem without symlink, he should not be using new-workdir but something else. E.g. GIT_DIR + GIT_WORK_TREE, or perhaps GIT_DIR + core.worktree comes to mind. - 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
