Consider adding a symlink: [[[ ### with git (in $wcroot/trunk/): diff --git a/trunk/bar b/trunk/bar new file mode 120000 index 0000000..1910281 --- /dev/null +++ b/trunk/bar @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +foo \ No newline at end of file ### with svn (in $wcroot/trunk/): Index: bar =================================================================== diff --git a/trunk/bar b/trunk/bar new file mode 10644 --- /dev/null (revision 0) +++ b/trunk/bar (working copy) @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +link foo \ No newline at end of file Property changes on: trunk/bar ___________________________________________________________________ Added: svn:special ## -0,0 +1 ## +* ]]]
