Is this a Linux/*nix system, or a Windows (Git for Windows [GfW]) system? It's important because Symlinks on nix systems are, as best I understand it, a file system property, while on Windows it's emulated as a file (IIRC) and the Git Index makes a note of that mode status.
Can you show the actual setup and output that you are seeing. It wouldn't surprise me that the file, from the *nix dev view would not have a terminating LF (Git does that a lot). If you actually have the git.git repo cloned, then look at the RelNotes 'file'. On my GfW it has no LF terminator.
