Description

If using a central configuration repo, it would be useful if the start of the setup process created the symlinks into it at the start. It would mkdir each directory with parents then create the symlinks.

This is something along the lines of

cp -sR /orig/. /dest

as detailed at http://stackoverflow.com/a/1250782/180733 (and also see http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/180987) but that's not quite right.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the setup entry point and the existing configuration-directory handling, then verify how a central configuration repository is represented. Done means setup creates parent directories and the requested symlinks at the beginning without relying on the suggested command unchanged.
