Windows doesn't have symlinks, so that's why this doesn't work on

"ln -s" will make a Windows "Shortcut" but they only act like symlinks
when in Cygwin. But it sounds likely that there is something amiss
with this symlinking stuff.
and you forgot: svn creates a copy from symlinks as well (that is: if a symlink was checked into the repository, and you check it out on w32, you will get 2 copies of the same file, changing (and committing) one, will have an effect on both; all in all: symlinks ought to be transparent)
