What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) I have an alias that enables core.symlinks from the command line: relevant lines from my system gitconfig: core.symlinks=false relevant lines from my user .gitconfig: difftool.bc4diredit.cmd="c:/Program Files/Beyond Compare 4/BCompare.exe" -lro -expandall -solo "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" alias.diffdirsym=-c core.symlinks=true difftool --dir-diff --tool=bc4diredit --no-prompt execution (in a repo with a changed file) git diffdirsym execution environment elevated powershell 5.1 shell What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) for the command to work What happened instead? (Actual behavior) received a "Function not implemented" error: error: could not symlink '<redacted physical path to changed file>' to 'C:\Users\contc\AppData\Local\Temp/git-difftool.a49272/right/<redacted relative path to copy of changed file>': Function not implemented What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Anything else you want to add: verified the alias works in 2.48.1.windows.1 Please review the rest of the bug report below. You can delete any lines you don't wish to share.
