If I create a Git repository on Linux (or Mac) and use symlinks in it (if it matters: they point to other places within the repo), how would they turn out for a user who clones that repostory on Windows?Say I have the following / - entry - qualifying - name - include-file.ily - main-file.ly - include-file.ily (=> symlink to entry/qualifying/name/include-file.ily Then I'm used to simply use \include "include-file.ily within main-file.ly Will the Windows user be able to do this also?
Each symlink will become a copy of the file it points to. So the includes will still work, but if (on Windows) you then make a change to what you think is the actual ily file, the changes will not be reflected in any of the copies.
