I do not use Windows, but I understood that what you should see is a
text file containing the string "link " followed by the path to the
location the symlink points to. I don't know what could be causing
these to appear as actual Windows shortcuts for you. Do the shortcuts
actually work?

I did the update in Cygwin svn. I'm not concerned about the
links themselves, but the fact that the links show up as "blocked"
when doing "svn status" from the command line, and as having
local modifications (i.e. needing to be checked in) in Tortoise.

Are you using Cygwin svn?
