How about this: $ echo '[[[stream-ext#stream-xcons]]]' > stream-xcons $ svn add stream-xcons $ svn ci -m "Creating link for procedure stream-xcons" It's semantically the same, it's just not using the OS to store the link but it puts the link inside the file. This also makes it easier to manage the link from the 'edit' page on the wiki. The syntax could be different or the file could have a special svnwiki property set so it knows that it's not an ordinary page, if needed.
