ArgoCD versions 2.10 and below have reached EOL. Can you upgrade and tell us if the issue is still present, please?

@andrii-korotkov-verkada I can confirm this issue for current version 2.14.9 for the ApplicationSet Git generator. Not sure if OP's reference is applicable. It seems as if the Git part is only traversing git ls-files instead of operating system specific checked out files and thus not following symbolic links.
