Symlinks work fine for me in msysgit, I don't know (and highly doubt) if
Windows "proper" reads them though.  I've not tried dropbox.
Honestly, I'd recommend you consider what exactly you want in git and what
you don't.  It's been my experience that the larger the file, the less often
it changes.  You may be better off throwing your big things in dropbox, and
using git only for your smaller and more often changed files.  This is what
I do personally, big stuff goes on my NAS (which I can access from anywhere
if I need a file), small stuff stays on my box and goes into git.  I usually
don't need change history on the bigger stuff anyway, so why waste the extra
space for that?
