Hello,

I am storing symlinks into a svn repository, some of them may be
dangling on other machines, which can check out the project contents
(they refer e.g. to local files on a server, outside of the svn project).
When I attempt to svn diff the working copy against an older revision,
the svn command dies in the middle with "Can't open file" error as soon
as it encounters a dangling symlink and the diff output is truncated.

Is there some work-around ?

Thanks,
-Svata
