Descrizione
On Windows, when attempting to access CLAUDE.md on master:
julia> islink("CLAUDE.md")
ERROR: IOError: stat("CLAUDE.md"): permission denied (EACCES)
It looks like Windows 10+ supports a form of symbolic links, which Git will use now - unfortunately islink and isfile are unhappy about them.
This causes make check-whitespace to fail on Windows for me.
