Ok I found it. Regular subdirectories it works as you said,

Why should it? Git does not follow symbolic links regardless whether
they point to files or directories. In fact, Git does extra checks to
avoid something like: symlink-to-dir/normal-file to be added as a
normal file. There was some discussion about it a couple months ago
("Not going beyond symbolic links").
