Certainly. I'd like to have similar pre-commit and configuration files among
multiple repos. Therefore, I create symlinks such as:
$repo1/hooks/pre-commit -> ../../default/hooks/pre-commit
$repo1/conf/passwd -> ../../default/conf/passwd
$repo2/hooks/pre-commit -> ../../defaults/hook/pre-commit
$repo2/conf/passwd -> ../../default/conf/passwd
Unfortunately, when I use "svnadmin hotcopy $repo1 /tmp/mirror1", the
duplicated repository in /tmp/mirror1 doesn't have any of the symlinks from
$repo1: they are skipped over, silently and without any reported error.
