One work-around, if you intend on adding both the link and the target of
the link to your VSS database, is to add only the target first, and
create a shared file or folder where the symbolic link exists.  This
won't be preserved on a Get Latest Version (the files on your local disk
won't include the link), but it will save you database storage space.
-----------------------------------

Thank you for suggestion for workaround.

I have better workaround:
To make a files as createlinks.sh and deletelinks.sh.
This two files will create links and will delete links. First file will
be called after "checkout" or "get last version" 
to create links on local file system. Second NEED to be called BEFORE
every "checkin". This two bash scripts
will be easy to create and VSS will track it's changes.

But to be honest.. I want to see a true links support.

Links are small text files and need to be saved as text files.
Just you need to be save a links with some special flag that will
represent a links.

On "checkout" or "get last version" - you will restore links.

Looks like piece of cake, just found a free bit to store this info.
