Symbolic link in subversion?
Hi,
Is it possible for me to add symbolic link (instead of files) to
subversion on linux?
And will that be a problem if that link points to an actual file in subversion?
Thank you.

Yes. When Subversion detects a symbolic link it uses the svn:special
property, but this should be transparent to the "normal" user.

No.
When checking out a symbolic link on a MS Windows system it will be
shown as a text file which contains the value of the symbolic link.
