Description
Gobblin repo has symbolic links in it, which is somewhat unusual.
In Git for Windows, by default, those links will be replaced by text files that contain paths to the real files. After that, the Gobblin build will fail with obscure error like this:
unexpected token: .. @ line 1, column 1. ../../xxx.gradle
It's possible to create symbolic links in Windows as well, but that requires a special git config file and running the command under elevated admin account - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41994595/error-while-importing-gobblin-gradle-project-into-ide
The ask here is to either document that for Windows users, or avoid using symbolic links all together.
