Have you tried using mklink? It's the Windows symlinking tool.

NTFS symlinks and Cygwin symlinks are not the same thing. Neither of them are very cross-platform or Git-friendly, though, so make sure you gitignore the link files.

I haven't tried this with HabitRPG yet (I'm probably not going to get around to looking at the code until later in May, due to exams), but have had issues with support for NTFS symlinks vs. Cygwin's soft symlinks when interchangably using Cygwin and Windows tools (as far as I can remember, the NTFS symlinks don't work in Cygwin tools, and the Cygwin symlinks don't work in Windows tools).
