links to files not created yet breaks checkout
In my repository, I have two directories named admin_web and applet. There are some symlinks in admin_web pointing to some files in applet using relative filenames (one example is in admin_web/applet, there is a symlink jdom.jar -> ../../applet/jdom.jar)
When I checkout the repository to a new directory, it checks out the admin_web directory first, and aborts when it hits the symlink with the error:
svn: In directory 'test/admin_web/applet'
svn: Can't move 'test/admin_web/applet/jdom.jar.tmp' to 'test/admin_web/applet/jdom.jar': No such file or directory
The file jdom.jar.tmp is in the admin_web directory, and is a symlink pointing to ../../applet/jdom.jar as it should.
At that point, I can go into the test directory, call "svn update applet" to pull in the applet directory, and then I can successfully cleanup and update admin_web.
I'm using version 1.2.0 (r14790). Am I doing something wrong with the symlinks (I just added them using svn add like any other file), or is this a bug?

Thanks, Greg.
Jon, do you have time/ability to debug into this and see where exactly
that error is coming from?

There should never be a problem creating a symlink pointing to a
nonexistent pathname, nor should there be a problem moving such a
symlink.
My guess is that we're getting tangled up in our file-moving helper
function, which is working around Windows permissions-related lossage.

I think this might be a bug, so I'm CC'ing the dev@ list:

Maybe there's some flag we should be passing to APR when creating a
symlink, saying it's okay if the target of the link doesn't exist? If
no such flag is available, then we might have a more serious problem
on our hands.
I'm not sure if creating a symlink that points to a non-existent
target results in the same behavior on all platforms, so this might
also be a platform-specific bug. You don't say what environment you
were running in -- we could use that datum, among others :-). See
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/BUGS for the kinds of details
that help when reporting a bug (your report wasn't bad, I just want to
drill down and get more information now).
Thanks,
