      The .nobackup files prevent from creating symlinks between clones,
which is useful for several use cases (multiple clones, directories
in different drives, etc...).

A .nobackup in the root will not interfere with symlinks anymore, and
we think it is acceptable, as a repo will probably be in sync with
GitLab or something similar.
git update-index --assume-unchanged can help if someone wants to
remove the .nobackup.
