[viewvc-users] How to export svn from viewvc while keeping symlinks?

Hi there.

Running ViewVC 1.1.11

When I click on Download GNU tar ball, this generates a svn export and
let you download it directly; which is great.

Problem is with files that are symlink.

Say I have the following directory structure in svn:

TestDir
 |- foo
 |- foo.lnk

where foo.lnk is a symlink to foo (created with ln -s foo foo.lnk)

Doing a svn export manually, correctly generates the folder the way it
should be.

However, when using Download GNU Tarball option, in the generated
tarfile foo.lnk becomes now a text file with "link foo" instead.

Is there a way to generate tarballs that properly preserve symbolic links ?

Thanks
JY
