VSCode shows changes on symlink file even if git says no changes

[MichaelFlucher]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.61.2 / 1.62.0 insiders build
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new folder
2. run git init
3. Create a file sample.txt with simple text content like "Sample Document"
4. Create a Symlink using PowerShell: New-Item -Path .\symlink.txt -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value .\sample.txt
5. Commit both files
6. Inside the symlink file there are changes listed, as in git it only contains the path:
   
7. Git says everything okay, no changes:

> git status                                                                           
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean

@MichaelFlucher, apologies for not getting back to you on this until now. VS Code does not support git repositories that have a symbolic link on their path. That work is currently tracked here: #5970. Please feel free to subscribe to the issue to get notified when the work is being assigned to a milestone.
