IMNSHO, it's much better to version a script that creates symlinks
than versioning the symlinks themselves. The former allows:
- easy type versioning (eg the symlink could disappear, reappear as a
real directory, ...)
- portability across OS's
- portability across VC tools
Is there a reason why you feel you need to version symlinks?
