Git currently keep symlinks always as symlink, I would like to see some
optional functionality when handling symlinks.

I can pretty much guarantee that you really don't want to do this, and 
that you'd be _much_ happier using some explicit wrappers around git to 
handle your special needs, than try to teach the SCM to handle symlinks 
specially.

ok agreed, i'll write some script which one can use on a tree to
sanitize symlinks on given rules and/or be used as a pre-commit check.
That has the pretty same effect for my needs and is more sane like you
outlined.
