Follow-up Comment #6, bug #365 (project tex4ht): Dear Karl,
I noticed that you have closed this one. Let me please make some additional comment. >From Windows2000, MSWindows is able to handle symlinks provided that the user account is configured accordingly and that the console in which you create the symlinks has UAC elevation (basically this means that you need to do something like _su admin_. The problem is that my svn client is not able to following MSwindows native symlinks (ie NTFS symlinks indeed) even when it is run in a console with UAC elevation. However, the picture is not so gloom, as if I create the symlinks manually after the SVN checkout, then any subsequent svn update does not erase them. This link is useful for configuring MSWindows : https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Symbolic-Links One needs MSYS2, with the following settings : * uncomment the "set MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict" line in script msys2_shell.cmd * run msys2_shell.cmd as administrator _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/bugs/?365> _______________________________________________ Message posté via/par Puszcza http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/
