By 'Git instances' they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

Git itself (Or any other VCS for that matter) really should treat symlinks as special, similar as to how btrfs stores everything as "reflinks" internally. They be stored as special references to other tracked objects (so it'd be impossible to commit a symlink that pointed at anything other than a checked-in file, and ensure they always match), and git can materialise them as needed.
