Symlink on Win32

>Subversion 1.1 (and later) has the ability to put a symlink under
version control, via the usual svn add command.

>translates the file into a symlink in the working copy. Win32 has no
symlinks, so a

normal file.

It is not true. The NTFS 5.0 (Win 2000/XP) supports the SymLinks (knows
also as "directory junctions"). So are you going to support synlinks on
Win32 in the next releses?
