AW: [TSVN] Hard links

>Subversion. Check the Subversion FAQ. Hardlinks will be working with
>the 1.1.x branch.

I can't find something about hard links on the subversion website, only
about symb. links under unix.

My problem is the following situation:

Path1\file.txt <-under subversion control

Path2\file.txt is a hard link to Path1\file.txt, not version controlled
Path3\file.txt is a hard link to Path1\file.txt, not version controlled
Path4\file.txt is a hard link to Path1\file.txt, not version controlled
...

When I edit the file in Path1 and then I do for example a "revert" on the
file, the hard link is broken (this can only happen, if the application
deletes a file and create a new one instead of overwriting it).

>From MSDN (Storage: Platform SDK) CreateHardLink

The CreateHardLink function establishes a hard link between an existing file
and a new file. Currently, this function is only supported on NTFS.

PS. I looked at the source code of TortoiseSVN and I realized, that you use
the /revert function of subversion. So this looks like a subversion
problem....
