The git-update-index and git-update-ref manual references are the closest to what I was looking for. Both are more low-level and technical than what I was hoping for, and the discussion in git-update-index seems targeted primarily at how symlinks are translated on file systems that don't support symlinks. I guess I was looking for something like the GNU "tar" documentation of how symlinks are handled (http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/dereference.html#deref erence). -- Matt Seitz Manager, File System Virtualization Cisco Systems, Inc. .:|:.:|:.
