Symlink fixtures/26231/exe breaks git and doesn't work on windows #60
Description
I've checkout out this repository, and also use it as a dependency in some golang work I do.
Unfortunately, git always shows there is a difference in this file:
MinGW 06:57:54 ~/.glide/cache/src/https-gh.seave.top-prometheus-procfs$ git diff
diff --git a/fixtures/26231/exe b/fixtures/26231/exe
