I'd like to add a symlink to an SVN repository via TortoiseSVN. SVN does support symlinks as "special" files, but Windows can't create POSIX symlinks. Is there some magical workaround? Would creating one through, e.g., cygwin do the trick?

A:
Creating a symlink in cygwin would work, but you would have to use a cygwin-compiled command-line svn tool to do the initial commit. TortoiseSVN wouldn't understand cygwin symlinks.

The Cygwin svn client works just fine. Once setup you can use both Cygwin and Tortoise to manage the same files.
