Hmmm, I just tried it out before I read this response.
Interestingly, I created a couple of symlinks within a wc,
then committed, and everything went fine. Now, though, when I check
out a new wc, I get 2 copies of the file, not one copy and a symlink
to that copy.

I'm curious if there are plans to better handle symlinks in the
future. And if so, how would that work in a cross-platform
environment, e.g. a windows client checking out a repo created from
on a UNIX-based platform where symlinks were used?

Thanks,
