Modifications on svn_load_dirs.pl.in

["Demange_2, Philippe" <ph...@philips.com>]

Hello,

I made 2 patches in the svn_load_dirs.pl.in:
- First one allows to add a message instead of the default one. This is done through the -m option
- Second one takes care or symb. links, in case of the dest file and source file are not of the same type, and one of them is a symbolic link, 'cause I got a lot of troubles with some external deliveries.

One improvement point is to limit the number of commit operations that can occur. Currently, each time that a symb link is detected, the dest file is removed, this removal is committed, the working copy is updated, and then the replacement file is added. It should be better to remove all the files in one step, and to make the commit operation only once, but I don't know enough well the svn_load_dirs.pl script to do it by myself.

How shall I do to make it available ?

Thanks in advance.

I like that idea ...

You may wish to review the patch in the following post, which also
subtly modifies how symlinks are processed.
