Maybe this has already been discussed somewhere. If so, my apologies.
I'm sending it just for archiving purposes. If an older svn client is
used to retrieve the jhalfs trunk, things are not as they should be. I
guess some new functionality has been added in newer releases of
Subversion to deal with symlinks. Maybe someone knows the exact cutoff
svn version. Mine was
svn, version 1.0.9 (r11378)
  compiled Mar 24 2005, 21:43:32

If after doing an svn checkout, the following happens:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/jhalfs-trunk# ./lfs
bash: ./lfs: Permission denied


and doing:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/jhalfs/trunk# file lfs
lfs: ASCII text, with no line terminators

If the output above is received, you are affected.
The proper output is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/subversion-1.3.1/jhalfs-trunk# file lfs
lfs: symbolic link to `master.sh'

Possible solutions:

1. Upgrade svn & re-check out the jhalfs trunk

OR

2. create the symbolic links manually after deleting the broken ones. ex:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/jhalfs-trunk# rm lfs
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/jhalfs-trunk# ln -s master.sh lfs
