Cygwin links are really .lnk files on the file system so a svn st shows
something like
? file.link.lnk
when in a directory that has a symbolic link to a file. Doing a rm
file.link in Cygwin and restoring it via 'svn up' deposits file.link.lnk
which no longer represents the file it was linked to properly per Cygwin
(e.g. no longer seen as symbolic link but a shortcut). So not the
solution being sought I believe.
