Hi Joey,
### Please describe the problem.
`git annex fromkey` on Windows fails with `git-annex: System.PosixCompat.Files.createSymbolicLink: not supported: illegal operation`
I guess it should create a unlocked file instead on Windows.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
mkdir test
cd test
git init
git annex init test
touch file
git annex add file
git annex sync
git annex fromkey SHA256E-s0--e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 file2
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git version 2.31.1.windows.1
git annex 8.20210331-g1fb59a63a
Windows 10 Pro 1903
### 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)
Yes! git-annex is really great and there is nothing else like it.
