What happens if I add a symbolic link to subversion?

Question

I'd like to add a symbolic link to subversion and when I do a checkout all it does is add the same symbolic link right to my checkout but I'm afraid to add it if that's not what happens.

Answer 1

Well...I'm not sure of the technical answer or what the ramifications might be, but I just tried it. I created a sym link to a dir in a checkout I had. Added and committed it. Nuked the whole checkout. Re-checked it out and the sym link is still there with the appropriate link.

Hope that will suffice for your worries ;)
