Re: [RFC] Change handling of RelNotes

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply a demand on anybody, or mandate anybody
change their workflow if really awkward or inconvenient.  Just new to
git and was trying some things and noticed this oddity.  In software
test, so I typically file reports for usability nits as well as big
things, and never expect to fix them myself.  Used to my
"recommendations" getting rejected too.  ;)

Just trying to lower a barrier to entry in a weird case....

I tested out the patch on Linux with a regular filesystem and with a
memory stick.  It picked it up and did the right thing with RelNotes
in both cases, leaving the symlink alone on ext3 and changing it to a
regular file on the memory stick.

I tried compiling it on Windows (cygwin), but ended up with:

/home/stcupp/git/builtin-init-db.c:305: undefined reference to `_xmkstemp'

I tried including git-compat-util.h and some other things to resolve
it, but was unable with my limited knowledge of their toolchain.
