I’m getting the following error when attempting to update my dev install on Windows. I first did a git pull, then vagrant up, vagrant ssh, and finally bundle install. The error occurs when trying to run bundle exec rake db:migrate vagrant@discourse:/vagrant$ bundle exec rake db:migrate rake abort…

It does not appear to be working: vagrant@discourse:/vagrant$ touch temp vagrant@discourse:/vagrant$ ln -s temp temp-link ln: failed to create symbolic link 'temp-link': Protocol error vagrant@discourse:/vagrant$
