Manfred Moser commented on MDEP-68:
-----------------------------------
This should also be an option for the copy goal so that large files do not have
to be copied from the local repo to a local path but rather just create a
symlink. E.g. we have large database dumps in nexus and use them for regression
tests. If a symlink could be created we would not have to copy them prior to
restoring..

> The current behaviour is that the symlinks becomes 0 byte sized files.
