Is this about the check that is overly strict for some existing
projects that kept the jk/symlinked-dotgitx-files topic in the
'seen' so far?
On the fsck end, we know we can demote the error level per
repository, but I wonder if we should make checkout/clone honor the
same setting?
I think GITMODULES_SYMLINK has been there for quite some time at
"error" level and we do want to discourage it to be a symbolic link,
so I am not quite sure what the demoting of these two achieves. Why
aren't we having a similar issue on .gitmodules that is a symbolic
link?
Thanks.
