Hi Robert,

I've been trying to reproduce this bug myself, but I haven't been able
to.  Using CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk seems to work absolutely fine in all
the tests I've done (namely running the entire Git test suite, which
includes a variety of tests that use symlinks).

To make any progress here, I really need a simple test case that I can
use to reproduce the problem, ideally one that doesn't involve Repo.
The simpler the test case, the easier it'll be to work out what's going
wrong (and thus the more likely it'll be that I can actually find time
to do something about it).

I don't think you answered my previous question about whether this is
only a problem with v2.0.4-1 or if it also affected the previous version
of Git on Cygwin, v1.7.9-1.  I don't think that'll make a significant
difference to isolating the problem, but it may be an interesting
datapoint.

Adam
