[hibernate-dev] Gradle and symlinks (again)

[Galder Zamarreño]

Taking in account the big difference between 3.6 and master, particularly folder and ways to import into the IDE, I've gone and created two different folders for each branch with git-new-workdir, but Gradle once again does not like symlinks generated :(

For example:

git clone git at github.com:galderz/hibernate-core.git .repo
git-new-workdir .repo master master
cd master
gradle idea

Anyway, regardless of the symlinks stuff, what's Gradle idea looking for stuff in .git folder?
