Symlinks on Windows

[Bengt Nilsson]

Hi!
We have a SVN-server running on Windows and there we get problem with symlinks.
If we put up a SVN-server on a Linux-server would that work better with the 
symlinks although  the clients (TortoiseSVN) are on Windows?
Or do we have to have clients on Linux as well?

What problem? The server should work just fine on Windows and it doesn't
use symlinks for anything.

I don't know, you haven't described what you're trying to do.

Please, see SVNBook | Versioning Symbolic Links
 (scroll down to
the "Versioning Symbolic Links" section). Is this what you are asking about?

If the answer is "yes", then the platform where the SVN server runs does
not matter. You need the clients to be on Linux, but the server can be on
Windows.
