Re: [egit-dev] Current status on symlink support?

Hi Thomas,

the j/egit symlink support is pretty good meanwhile (3.7 HEAD), I daily work on a repo with lot of symlinks and do not notice that they exists, which is a good sign.

For the rest of corner cases check umbrella bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=429304.

Kind regards,
