delete a symbolic link and replace with a file

[Subramanian Thenralmani <st...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

How can i delete a symbolic link and replace with a normal file with the same name. ( link and file name is same)

One way is delete the link and commit then update the sandbox and add a file.

I need one step procedure to meet the above.

Thanks,
Subramanian ThenralMani

I don't think you'll find one. The repository needs to see these as 2
distinct actions, and that means 2 commits/transactions, therefore at
least 2 steps.

If this is something you'll be doing frequently, write a script around
the svn client, and it'll only be one step to execute, and the script
will do everything automatically.
