> I have some symbolic links to external files added and checked in subversion
> subdirectory with the command 'svn add my-link; svn commit'.
> When I check out the whole project these symbolic links often (maybe always?)
> are restored to be files of the same content as files where this links should
> point to.
> 'svn diff' shows differences right after checkout. But when I delete the file
> (rm my-link) and do 'svn update' in this directory links are restores as they
> should be.
> This is quite an annoying bug that shows up over and over again and requires the
> additional action from the user (rm/svn update).
> Link should never be replaces with file by svn utility.
> version 1.6.12 (r955767)
