I have a package with a source that looks like this:

 setup.py
 MANIFEST.in
 Prototype/libraries/jquery.js
 Prototype/style/main.css
 my/
 my/package/
 my/package/templates/libraries -> ../../../Prototype/libraries
 my/package/templates/style -> ../../../Prototype/style

what I would like to accomplish is that when a bdist is made either Prototype/ is installed somewhere and the symlinks point to it, or the symlinks are replaced with a copy of the data they point to.

For a package maintained in subverion this works: when the sdist is created the symlink is replaced with a copy of the thing it points to, which is then included in the bdist. For a package maintained in git this does not work: the symlink always appears to be ignored. Is there
a way to accomplish this?
