What steps will reproduce the problem?
1: using a symbolic link in the git.repositoriesFolder prevents Tomcat from starting
the application. I can remove the symbolic link, start Tomcat and successfully start
gitblit, and then relink the directory and the application will run fine (until Tomcat
needs to restart).
What is the expected output?
For the application to successfully start in Tomcat.
What do you see instead?
