Re: [RFC] Change handling of RelNotes

Quoting "Stephen Cuppett" [off-list ref]:

I propose we eliminate this symlink.

Maybe it is just me, but you do not sound like you are proposing to do
anything yourself.  You are simply demanding Junio to change the way he
works.  Instead of being able to edit RelNotes at the toplevel, relying
on the symbolic link to let him edit the right file, you are forcing him
to edit the appropriate file in Documentation/ directory.

Shouldn't you have at least said "I request" instead?

I sometimes have a checkout on a filesystem that does not support
symbolic links, but I set core.symlink configuration variable to false
in such a case.  Would it make sense to update "git init" to autodetect
lack of symbolic link support in the filesystem?
