Symbolic links for folders

[Mark Phippard <Ma...@softlanding.com>]

Should I be able to svn add and ci a symbolic link that is pointing to a 
folder?  For some reason, when this feature was being designed I thought 
it was limited to files.

What would be the expected behavior?  It looks like it allows me to do 
this.  After I do, the files within the linked folder do not show up in 
svn st.  So I assume Subversion will only go as far as the folder itself.

I am working on a problem someone reported with this for Subclipse.  The 
issue is that in Subclipse, we show those files under the symbolic link as 
unversioned, which is inconsistent with the command line.  I am just 
looking for clarification as to what we ought to be doing.

Thanks
