Jack,
I found this information on binary files and symlinks.
9. Handling binary files

L file
The file is a symbolic link; cvs import ignores symbolic links.
People periodically suggest that this behavior should be changed, but if
there is a consensus on what it should be changed to, it doesn't seem to be
apparent. (Various options in the `modules' file can be used to recreate
symbolic links on checkout, update, etc.; see section C.1 The modules file.)
