问题 When I try to create a symbolic link from the Git Bash shell, it fails every time all the time: $ ln -s /c/Users/bzisad0/Work testlink ln: creating symbolic link `testlink' to `/c/Users/bzisad0/Work': Permission denied The only thing it does, besides give the error message, is create an empty directory named (in this case) testlink .

问题 I\'ve been searching around, but I can\'t find a thorough description of what\'s going on with these 3 versions of MSYS. (It\'s entirely possible I just don\'t know what to look for.) I do understand that MSYS is a minimal port of Linux tools to support development using MinGW, but I\'m not clear on the relationship between the three of them or the teams that developed/maintain them. Particular issues to address: Which ones are under active development? (In particular, is MSYS dead and MSYS2
