Force disable git symlink support on Windows #159

Closed achilleas-k closed 6 years ago

achilleas-k commented 6 years ago

Since the Win10 Creators Update, if Developer Mode is enabled, symlinks can be created without elevated privileges. During cloning of a repository with symlinks, git detects this and creates symbolic links, whereas in the past it would simply create text-like files with a path.

When symlinks are created, git-annex breaks in many wonderful ways.

Fixed in 85ccc3dda31fbd607475f9ec7b9f0987bdf3d707. Symlinks are explicitly disabled on Windows.
