How can I keep two files in sync within the same repository?

Question

My repository in git looks like this:

-Project Repo
    -Sub Folder 1
         -File 1
         -File A
    -Sub Folder 2
         -SubSub Folder

Hopefully a symbolic link is all you need.

If you are in Linux/Unix you would issue the symlink creation command as follows:

cd ".../Project Repo/Sub Folder 2/"
ln -s "../Sub Folder 1/File 1" "File 2"

In a version of Windows that support symbolic links, you can try the mklink command:

cd ...\Project Repo\Sub Folder 2
mklink "File 2" "..\Sub Folder 1\File 1"
