Problem adding a symlinkg

Hello,
I am trying to add some symlink to git and got the following error:

error: readlink("protoc/Linux-x86-2.6.28/lib/libprotobuf-lite.so"): Invalid
argument
error: unable to index file protoc/Linux-x86-2.6.28/lib/libprotobuf-lite.so
fatal: adding files failed

I thought it was possible to add symlinks to git. What  am I doing wrong ?

THanks for your help
Arnaud

Is the file in fact a symlink? Maybe it was replaced by a file while
Git was adding it?
If it is reproducable, could you strace "git add" and post the trace here?
