# This fixes Permission denied errors you might get when
#  there are git symlinks being used on repositories that 
#  you share in both POSIX (usually the host) and Windows (VM).
#
# This is not an issue if you are checking out the same
#  repository separately in each platform. This is only an issue
#  when it's the same working set (aka make a change w/out 
#  committing on OSX, go to Windows VM and git status would show 
#  you that change).
