Linking issues under Windows bash

See original GitHub issue

I have the following config file:

- defaults:
    link:
      create: true
      relink: true

- clean: ['~']

- link:
    ~/.gitconfig:
    ~/.gitignore_global:

When I run the install script, it gives an output:

All targets have been cleaned
Linking failed ~/.gitconfig -> C:\Users\user\.dotfiles\gitconfig
Linking failed ~/.gitignore_global -> C:\Users\user\.dotfiles\gitignore_global
Some links were not successfully set up
