title: Add symlink file as file using Git on Windows
body: <p>I have a big (more than 1000 files) VS C# project in git. I need to create a small demo project and use ten files from the big project. To create this new project, I added ten files with mklink (symlink) from the big project to the small. All changes in corresponding files in the big and small project are identical. Now I need to add the small project to a different (my own) git repo. </p>
  
  <p>But symlink will not add in git :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>(error: readlink("X.cs"): Function not implemented)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How to add the X.cs (symlink) file in git as a regular file?</p>
  
  <p>I need all changes in X.cs (in big project) to be moved to X.cs (small project).</p>
