Description

https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1561

Currently, tutorial/erl/client.sh is a symlink to tutorial/erl/server.sh. During extraction of a thrift archive on Windows, this creates temporarily a dangling symlink, because client.sh is extracted before server.sh, and points to a (then) non-existing file. This breaks tar on Windows.
