good idea either: it is an irrelevant detail that a file in the
template directory is symlinked.
This was very deliberately done to allow a relative symlink that
points at
e.g. ../../hooks/pre-commit with .git/hooks/pre-commit. IOW, "use
what
the project suggests".
I see. How can I get the same functionality on a platform which does
not support symlinks?
