SUNNY BEACH!
If it's a hard link, editing the file will break the replication. If
it's a symbolic link, a hotcopy will drop it. If the symbolic link were
copied as a symlink, I need to link it to "../../conf/*" instead of
"/Subversion/conf/*" so that my copied symbolic links point into the
backup, not into the original.
So I have changed my create.php to relative, not abosolute, symlinks,
and edited my SVNBackup.sh script to 'cp -p -d' the symlinks from the
master to the backup.
Thanks for the heads-up.
