branch symlink

[MareoRaft]

Pros and cons of symlink approach:

Pros:

• Everything in the repo is together in the repo folder.
• It is easy to see which of your config files are part of the repo and which ones are not.

Cons:

• If you move folders around, symlinks can break.
• No "granular" syncing: If you have not a dotfile but a dotfolder, then that folder needs to be entirely checked into the repo or not. You can't have some of the files within the folder synced to the repo and others not.
