querying special status

[Charles Smith <ct...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I just got the error "... has unexpectedly changed special status".  I know it has to do with the fact that it is or isn't a symbolic link.

My question is, how can I query the special status of files in the repository?

Yes, I think this happens when you try to replace a symlink with a  
real file, or vice versa, without telling Subversion. I believe to do  
this you need to tell Subversion, by "svn rm"ing the old thing and  
then "svn add"ing the new thing.

I don't know.
