Description
Currently when I add a symlink inside my Nextcloud folder it doesn't sync because "Symbolic links are not supported in syncing".
I am trying to use Nextcloud as a home for my data, to have it synced between my PCs. Now I'd also like to be able to access my git-repositories (mostly) code via the directory-structure in Nextcloud but I don't want to sync the git-repositories via Nextcloud. This is why it would be really nice for me to be able syncing only the link to the repository which is on a fixed position on any system. eg: ~/Nextcloud/current_projects/fizzbuzz would point to ~/repositories/fizzbuzz.
If I happen to be on a system where this git-repository isn't present I can just clone the repository there.
This option could be optional (like the syncing of hidden files).
There's also a issue about this for the owncloud-client here: https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/1440
