If I create a Git repository on Linux (or Mac) and use symlinks in it (if it matters: they point to other places within the repo), how would they turn out for a user who clones that repostory on Windows?

Say I have the following

/
- entry
  - qualifying
    - name
      - include-file.ily
- main-file.ly
- include-file.ily (=> symlink to entry/qualifying/name/include-file.ily

Then I'm used to simply use
\include "include-file.ily
within main-file.ly

Will the Windows user be able to do this also?

Each symlink will become a copy of the file it points to. So the includes will still work, but if (on Windows) you then make a change to what you think is the actual ily file, the changes will not be reflected in any of the copies.
