Use of symbolic link in Windows 10

[Roland Bengtsson]

Hi I tried to use symbolic links but it makes me confused.

From commandline
C:\Attracs\Attracs-External\deploy\res>

mklink WayBill.fr3 C:\Attracs\Attracs-Common\deploy\res\WayBill.fr3

symbolic link created for WayBill.fr3 <<===>> C:\Attracs\Attracs-Common\deploy\res\WayBill.fr3

So this works fine. The link is shown as type .symlink in Explorer.

To ensure it looks the same when git recreate it I rename the link to _WayBill.fr3
I use SmartGit client and it is shown as missing.
When I pull the file is created again with name WayBill.fr3.

But Explorer show it with type fr3 ?

Filecontents in _WayBill.fr3
C:\Attracs\Attracs-Common\deploy\res\WayBillBatch.fr3

Filecontents in WayBill.fr3
C:/Attracs/Attracs-Common/deploy/res/WayBill.fr3

So slash is not identical as original. What happened here?

Git            2.35.0.windows.1
SmartGit 22.1.7

Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Hi Roland,

can you replicate the issue with (current) Git for Windows, i.e. without
involving SmartGit?

Ciao,
Johannes
