Yup. Supporting any symlink in-tree is like requiring Git to be used only on symlink-capable filesystems. Not allowing it sounds like a very sensible option and unlike true contents, there is no downside to give that limitation to things like .git<anything>. Shouldn't we do the same for .gitmodules while we are at it?
