Problem with storing git data in different directory

Hi SaNi,

Unfortunately if the share is a Windows SMB/CIFS share symlinks are not supported.

When creating a new project GitLab creates a symlink for the “hooks” directory. You can see this happens on line 37 of gitlab_projects.rb .

There’s a similar question asked on stackoverflow. We’re unable to recommend any workaround short of changing the git data directory location.

Thanks,
Chris
