There are some oddballs out there like Windows Terminal, which refuses to detect changes in the config file if it's a symlink (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/1812#issuecomment-508280785). Recreating the symlink doesn't seem to do it either. The only currently viable solution is to use hardlinks, so it would be nice if dotbot can support it.
