Hello,
I have changed bindfs to hide symbolic links from subversion so it
commits the actual file to the repository.
Here is the patch. (Mirror: http://pastebin.com/PfzpBMp6 )
Download: http://bindfs.org/downloads/bindfs-1.12.3.tar.gz
tar xvfz bindfs-1.12.3.tar.gz
mv bindfs-1.12.3 bindfs

It is utterly pointless to argue here. You guys are hell-bent for having
special files in repositories so you can abuse subversion for things
that rsync or other backup solutions were made for and which are clearly
not in the focus of a version control software anymore.

It would belong to users@ is there was already an
--enable-follow-symlinks option. But there isn't one.

It doesn't make a lot of sense. These special files are platform
depending and there is no point in having them in /any/ repository.
Even if it is a project that is only for a single platform it doesn't
make sense storing special files in the rep

And perhaps just a teensy bit less certain that only your opinion can be
correct. It's rather hard to have a technical discussion based on a
bunch of vague and

svn:externals certainly have their own issues.
But it's really difficult to make suggestions to based on what you've provided.

I wan'

subversion follow symlinks instead of storing these special files. I
don't want so rain into the svn:externals parade. But symlinks are just
more intuitive for people familar to Unix and it shows:

So I did just remove the #define HAVE_SYMLINKS from the config and build
it myself.
