I have some symbolic links to external files added and checked in subversion
subdirectory with the command 'svn add my-link; svn commit'.

When I check out the whole project these symbolic links often (maybe always?)
are restored to be files of the same content as files where this links should
point to.

'svn diff' shows differences right after checkout. But when I delete the file
(rm my-link) and do 'svn update' in this directory links are restores as they
should be.

This is quite an annoying bug that shows up over and over again and requires the
additional action from the user (rm/svn update).

Link should never be replaces with file by svn utility.

version 1.6.12 (r955767)
