How to use symbolic links in a project under git?

Question

git

There is a git repository that is cloned to the ubuntu server and works without problems.
But here it was necessary to move one of the directories of this project to another disk and make a symlink so that everything works as before. But the fail-git does not perceive this symlink in any way and thinks that the directory was simply deleted. How to fix the situation?

Answer 1

git knows what symlinks are and bypasses them :)
or make a hardlink for each file.
or mount the directory via mount bind, such a connection should be swallowed by git.

Answer 2

Make a link in the opposite direction - from the endpoint to a folder inside the git repository.
