Commit create operation in [Commit API](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html#create-a-commit-with-multiple-files-and-actions) does not provide an option to create symbolic links. ### Proposal It should be enough to add `fmode` parameter and allow to set to `120000`. Or use a separate option to mark file as a symlink. ### Links / references
