How to verify a soft link in svn without checkout?

Question

I want to verify the correctness of a soft link in svn. But I don't want to checkout. Is there any method? I try "svn ls", but it cannot give information about soft link.

You can use svn proplist to make sure the file has the svn:special property set.

svn cat will give you the file it points to.

See the docs for more information.
