repo with CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict


Hi,

If I set CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk, repo works. However, Windows native Git tool, such as TortoiseGit cannot read the symlink file. I think it treats the symlink file as a normal file and tries to parse the file format as Git specifies. (repo is a tool from Google for Android source management, which works with Git).

I guess Windows native tool can handle the symlink if "CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict".
However, if I set CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict, repo init fails with
    os.symlink(os.path.relpath(src, os.path.dirname(dst)), dst)
    OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Any advice, idea is greatly helpful.
