Stow does this, it also has a --dotfiles switch so you can save your files as `dot-vimrc`, `dot-bashrc`, etc... so you don't have a bunch of hidden files in your repo

Too bad that's broken for directory names: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/33

Stow maintainer here. Thanks for the nudge on that, and apologies for not doing a better job. I hadn't noticed that this issue affecting so many users. I have some downtime in the coming week or two so will look at this.

Thank you! That fix will make my dotfiles repo look a lot nicer :)
