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?
Maybe any setting to change?
