Using cmd or Powershell and having a soft link from hooks/post-applypatch to hooks/post-commit in $GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR, calling git init
in the directory C:\Users\konfekt\repo
gives the error message
fatal: cannot symlink 'post-commit' 'C:/Users/konfekt/repo/.git/hooks/post-applypatch': Function not implemented
and no git repo was created. Expected was a git repo.
