Absolute symlinks pointing outside the tree are a harder case. I would still suggest importing these as git symlinks, pointing to the same absolute target path.
As long as the repo is checked out into a filesystem where the same absolute paths are mounted, the links will work. That's a common scenario when all repo users use the same compute cluster with a shared filesystem.
