Method: Overcommit::Utils::FileUtils.readlink

Defined in:
lib/overcommit/utils/file_utils.rb

When the host OS is Windows, uses the dir command to check whether link_name is an NTFS symbolic link. If so, it parses the target from the command output. Otherwise raises an ArgumentError. Delegates to File.readlink if the host OS is not Windows.
