Doesn't work with symbolic links. :(

I want to include my githooks in source control, the easiest way to do that is to link each of them: ln -s githooks/* .git/hooks/. However then when I run my grunt githooks task to setup the pre-commit hook I get the following error:

Running "githooks:precommit" (githooks) task

Binding `precommit` to `pre-commit` Git hook.
Warning: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/Users/me/Documents/Programming/Sites/mysite.com/.git/hooks/pre-commit' Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Instead, grunt-githooks should follow the symbolic link and update the original file. I can then include the additions it makes in my source control.

Actually it works fine with hard links. So I can just use those in my project. Not sure if you wanted to do anything about the symbolic links tho, so I'll leave this issue open until you can review.
