Note that I don't want to set up symbolic links from www/drupal-5.1/sites to my sites directories. I have my code (including the drupal core I am using) in subversion, and I'd like to checkout out an entire site in a single step. Having to replace Drupal's sites and profiles directories with symbolic links is an extra step I'd like to avoid.
SVN supports symbolic links.
See https://svn.bryght.com/dev/browser/bryghtbase/DRUPAL-5/trunk for an example layout. We have a top level modules, profiles, themes, modules, and patches directory. Symlinks abound.
This is cool. I'll have to give it a try. On windows directory junction points would probably work as well. Boris do you know how the windows client works in regard to a checkout from your server with the symbolic links? Does it create junction points or does it just create copies? I'll go ask an SVN list.
