Subject: repo with CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

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.
