Win32: lstat(): return adequate stat.st_size for symlinks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Git typically doesn't trust the stat.st_size member of symlinks (e.g. see
strbuf_readlink()). However, some functions take shortcuts if st_size is 0
(e.g. diff_populate_filespec()).

In mingw_lstat() and fscache_lstat(), make sure to return an adequate size.

The extra overhead of opening and reading the reparse point to calculate
the exact size is not necessary, as git doesn't rely on the value anyway.
