Platform: Windows

Given this repository:
https://github.com/nathanhammond/symlink_publish

A call to git_status_list_new returns GIT_STATUS_WT_MODIFIED for this symlink: https://github.com/nathanhammond/symlink_publish/blob/main/copy/original

Downstream, this results in cargo publish (and cargo release) failing for repositories with this shape (unless passing --allow-dirty).

Full reproduction via Rust and git2:

git clone https://github.com/nathanhammond/symlink_publish
cd symlink_publish
cargo publish --dry-run

And if you want to directly test, the reproduction repository also contains tests inside of lib.rs to directly run the code which triggers this outcome.
