For some reason I can't seem to get explained, svn_load_dirs doesn't
deal with symlinks out of the box. You have to apply this patch to
make it work:

http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-02/0611.shtml

See this bug report:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2241

I needed to import old project snapshots with symlinks too, and the
patch helped me out and worked fine.
