git-new-workdir for Windows (#9)

The git-new-workdir script creates copies of files instead of symbolic links, when run from Git Bash on Windows Vista. I modified it to use mklink via cmd.exe. I have an open pull request on GitHub:
https://github.com/git/git/pull/9.

I'm not sure how permanent that link is, so here is a link to the file in my fork of git:

I guess this might get more attention at the git mailing list at [email protected].

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for fixing this. However, we can't accept patches via pull requests on GitHub. Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches to submit a neatly formatted patch so that we can consider it for inclusion. Also, please consider patching the existing git-new-workdir script to work with GitBash instead of creating one from scratch.

Thanks.
