That's *not* the right thing!
A linux link is not a symbolic link in Windows. They are completely
different. That's why Subversion does not create an *.lnk file for those
on Windows.

You should not use the cygwin version of Subversion on windows. Use the
official windows client of Subversion. Cygwin is a linux emulation and
has to pretend it's working on linux - you will end up with all kinds of
problems.
