    I have a git repo on gitlab cloned to my mac. I tried to share the directory with my windows parallels instance. However, there is a bunch of Xcode that uses symlinks. Parallels is changing all of the .h files to .h.lnk files on windows. I'm trying to use the same directory on both mac and windows. This repo has Xcode code, as well as php and other things. Is there anyway I can tell parallels not to convert the .h files into actual links in windows? Otherwise, git is telling me I have thousands of diffs in windows but the mac side is clean. I have tried setting core.symlinks, core.autocrlf, and core.filemode. I also followed the directions here to try and stop parallels from converting the links: http://kb.parallels.com/en/122885. Any help?

    I know I can clone the repo again on the windows side and have two instance of the repo, but it is a large repo, and I'd rather not. Thanks,
