Hi,
I got big troubles trying to import an external delivery with svn_load_dirs.pl (this is in part related to bug 2655 reported by Marc Girod, but treats symb links specificly):
In the first delivery, there is a lot of folders containing mostly the same code.
In the following delivery, these folders become, greatfully, symbolic links targetting a common and unique folder.
Then svn_load_dirs.pl behaves like in the following example:
I import a folder 'foo' containg a file 'bar', whose content is "zoo" into the repository.
Then I decide to rename the file 'bar' to 'zoo', because it's more convenient.
But I want to keep the file 'bar' available for, let's say, compilation compatibility, so I create a symb link:
'ln -s zoo foo/bar'
And now I want to import these modifs on the repository with svn_load_dirs.pl:
(I rename 'foo' into 'new_foo', otherwise svn_load_dirs.pl complains)
"

The attached patch aims to allow this kind of operation. Everytime that a source file and dest file match in their name but dismatch in their types, it checks if one them is a symbolic link. If so, it:
- runs 'svn rm' on the dest file
- commit the rm operation
- copies and runs 'svn add' on the source file
As Marc Girod mentionned here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2655
, I also have difficulties to avoid a list of consecutive commit operations (which can be __very__ long).
I would prefer to run the commit operation once, but I don't know the script well enough to do so.
