I guess +I was wrong, `case=off` works too. I'll remove `case=dir` it from the instructions once again. + +Also the NT symlink requirements are fulfilled in my case simply by way of me having developer mode +enabled in 21H1 (Windows 10 Pro). I create symlinks all the time with +\"cmd /c mklink ...\" in Powershell without elevation. Git-annex also creates only relative symlinks +which was also a requirement in the WSL release news you mentioned. No, this must be one of those +miscellanous problems mentioned in [[WSL issue 353|https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/353]]. + +_Edit_: Oh, in fact recreating the symlink after getting the file with `git-annex get` by deleting the symlink +with rm and then checking it out again with `git checkout -- ` seems to allow me to access +the file in Windows just fine. Interesting. Maybe it's git-annex itself that creates the wrong +kind of symlink that a later call to plain git can repair. Quite convoluted it seems. + +"""]]
