Sorry for the confusion. By "repo" I mean the working copy that a user checks out. Svn1.6.x used to follow symlinks when checking out a copy, but since svn1.7.x all checked out directories must reside on the same file system (i.e. no symlinks or mount points). As many stackoverflow users have pointed out, this is rather inconvenient. regards, --Zhao
