Sat 08 May 2010 07:42:50 PM UTC, comment #5: The problem is that symlinks are simply lost, while they should get a special file attribute which stores the original symlink and creates that instead on update / checkout / revert on supported platforms:

Just to clarify; this is talking about symlinks within the workspace, not symlinks to files outside the workspace. It would be useful for mtn to preserve in-workspace symlinks. For example, /etc often has them.
