project: fallback to hardlinks with git hooks Windows requires Administrator access to create symlinks. We can mitigate this a bit by falling back to hardlinks as those may be created by any user on the system. Do this with the git hooks as these are supposed to be internal only and people shouldn't be modifying them. If they do, they'll have to delink first. This seems worth it to allow repo usage without extra privileges.

Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.
Many distros include repo, so you might be able to install from there.
# Debian/Ubuntu. $ sudo apt-get install repo # Gentoo. $ sudo emerge dev-vcs/repo
You can install it manually as well as it's a single script.
$ mkdir -p ~/.bin $ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}" $ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo $ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo
