introduced a symlink dmd repo; if a user clones it inside a Dropbox (or
google drive) and syncs his dropbox to another machine, it will create
havoc:

* google drive doesn't support symlinks at all
* dropbox supports it in a horrible way, resolving symlinks, leading to
duplicating the folder that's being symlinked on the 2nd machine:
