internal symlinks

Hi All,

I think it would be good if SVN can natively support symlinks within its
internal repository tree and manage it itelf rather than relying on the file
system that is checked out on.

Perhaps something along the lines of:

svn link svn://source svn://dest

The idea is rather than creating a copy (i.e. branch), it would allow
changes to files in that directory to flow through and not branch.
Bidirectional would be good, but even just unidirectional link svn:externals
would be a good start. Editing svn:externals is troublesome, it's not easy
to just add and remove directory members, especially when you need to
automate.
