Perforce also used to have a huge bug with symlinks, which I've asked them
about since and they've never said is fixed. If you edit a symlink by
relinking it to a new target, then commit the change, then check out a fresh
copy of the committed directory, you wind up with the old symlink. The only
way to change a symlink was to actually delete it, then add a new one.
Subversion gets this right.
