I work on Windows 7 Pro 64bit
I use OSFMount 2.0 (1001) 64bit for windows 8 for work on ramdisk.
I use Git 2.19.1.windows.1 for save work result to HDD (2 synchronized repo).
I use windows ntfs symlinks and save it in git repo.
Windows ntfs symlinks work fine on OSFMount ramdisk
Windows ntfs symlinks work fine in Git 2.19.1.windows.1
But, Windows ntfs symlinks bad work in git repo on OSFMount ramdisk.
I create simple example example.
This example work on any HDD and Dataram RAMDisk V4_4_0_RC36.
But work on OSFMount ramdisk with error:
>E:\test_git_symlink>git clone -c core.symlinks=true repo.git repo_b
>Cloning into 'repo_b'...
>done.
>fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree
>warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
>You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
>and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'
Reproduction steps
1) creqate empty OSFMount ramdisk
2) create test folder test_git_symlink
3) create bat file create_repo.bat, content bellow
4) change first line in create_repo.bat to correct path
5) execute create_repo.bat on admin rights
6) last command must create repo_b with content or throw error "fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree"

create_repo.bat

cd /D T:\test_git_symlink
REM Create bare repo
mkdir repo.git
cd repo.git
git init --bare
git config --system core.symlinks true
