Question about storing symlinks in a branch

[Russel Winder]

In a project managed with Bazaar, there is a proposal to use symlinks to
directories to work around a bug in a tool.  Clearly the proposal is
being made in the context of a Posix-compliant platform.  I assume
Bazaar would store the symlink as a symlink, and that any branch on a
Posix-compliant system would see a symlink in the working tree.

What happens if someone branches this on a Windows platform?  I am told
there are things called Junctions, do these get used?  Is the transform
to symlink made if a Junction is used on a Windows platform?

Thanks.
