Description xkr 2014-04-27 09:42:32 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706)
Operating System = Linux version 3.11.10-7-desktop running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_51
Runtime = OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 24.45-b08

When cloning git repository that contains symbolic links (into linux/ext4 filesystem), netbeans git does not restore sym link(s) properly - but creates ordinary file with link point to location inside.
Further when the link points to some directory with source files also managed by git, the git clone is confused and tries to remove some files in target directory because - it seems - the link is not present in filesystem.
