Description

Hi,
symlinks "files" aren't compatible between file systems. Their content and mechanics differs on NTFS and EXT, APFS...
The symlink `packages/lib-vue2/src` already present in this repo thus causes an error if I run `pnpm i` on an NTFS formatted drive.

> Error: EEXIST: **file** already exists, symlink 'W:\Fubar\packages\lib-vue3\src ...'

Please remove the `src` symlink in the `lib-vue2` folder from the repository as it's supposed to be created anyway in the `postinstall`
Add its path to a .gitignore

Thank you.

Research direction

Inspect the tracked packages/lib-vue2/src symlink and the repository's .gitignore, then check the postinstall setup referenced in the issue. Done means the symlink is no longer tracked, its path is ignored, and pnpm i no longer fails because of it on an NTFS drive.
