Hi, can you guys add support for directory junction in Windows?

In Linux, we're using a symlink, and Intellij with this plugin can detect the version control successfully. But when we're using Windows with directory junction, Intellij can't detect the version control.

Our directory structure in Linux is like these:
git clone folder location:

/home/user/git/hybris/custom
/home/user/git/hybris/config

and we symlink it so it became like these:

/home/user/hybris/hybris/bin/custom
/home/user/hybris/hybris/config

In Windows, it's similar
gi clone folder:

C:\git\hybris\custom
C:\git\hybris\config

and we created a directory junction so it became like these:

C:\hybris\hybris\bin\custom
C:\hybris\hybris\config

Upon checking the project structure in Linux, we notice that the module content root will point to the git clone folder, while in Windows, it will point to the hybris folder. Screen shoot:
In Linux:

In Windows:

In Linux with a symlink, we can right-click and annotate git since IntelliJ can detect the version control successfully, but on Windows, it can't.
Also if we made changes on Windows, the file name will not be colored (red for new, green for add to VCS, blue for modified)
