The git-update-index and git-update-ref manual references are the
closest to what I was looking for. Both are more low-level and
technical than what I was hoping for, and the discussion in
git-update-index seems targeted primarily at how symlinks are translated
on file systems that don't support symlinks.
I guess I was looking for something like the GNU "tar" documentation of
how symlinks are handled
(http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/dereference.html#deref
erence).
