SVN symlinks ignore, which is not in version control

Hello,
 
i think this is a question which is asked a lot, but i couldn't find an
answer.
 
what i have is the following:
 
i got a map with a CMS in /usr/local/cms
which is symlinked in /var/www/html/projectname/cms
 
now i want the projectname under versioncontrol, but i want it to ignore
the cms folder...
 
ps. there are 40 or so projects and counting, so is there a way it
always ignores the cms folder.
pps. the cms folder is read only :-)
 

With kind regards, 


Mike van Hoof

Use the "import in place" strategy described in the FAQ:

http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#in-place-import

When you "svn add" everything you want to add to the repository, do  
not "svn add cms" (but do "svn add" everything else).

You could write a script to automate this.
