Re: Sharing files like in MS Visual SouceSafe

I don't see how symlinks or something like them can solve this problem.
  The link has to have something at the other end to link too after all.
  In the case of shared files/projects in VSS, the link is only internal
to the VSS database (repository), externally each instance of the file
can be different (they will get changes when the user does an update or
'get') or even not present if the user only has a working copy of one
instance.
