Hi,

This question has been asked on Stackexchange:

http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/6070/hard-and-soft-links-junctions-under-
windows

How difficult would it be to report junctions as symlinks?
I find it desirable and informative.

Moreover, all the support seems to be already there.
Specifically, it would suffice to handle the case of 
IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT in src/w32.c/is_symlink() 
and src/w32.c/readlink() the same way it is done for 
IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK.

Is there any drawback in doing this? Would it be enough?

Best regards,

Fabrice
