### Please describe the problem.
Although it does require you to put your system in Developer Mode, [NTFS has supported symlinks without privilege elevation for almost five years now](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2016/12/02/symlinks-windows-10/), and has supported them for programs run as administrator since Vista. git-annex, however, unconditionally assumes Windows filesystems are crippled.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Initialize a git-annex repository on an NTFS partition with a Windows system in Developer Mode.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
```

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
It's worked excellently under Linux for about 6 months prior to me needing to switch to Windows for unrelated reasons.
