Re: [SVN-MIGRATION] Symbolic link between PECL and PHP for OCI8?

My googling says sym links are available in SVN from 1.1 - at least on
Unix.  And I believe on Windows it would give you a copy of the linked
files.

OK.

I installed SVN 1.5.5 and did indeed get the external repositories
pulled when I ran:

     svn --username=sixd co http://svn.php.net/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/

For the record, svn 1.4.2 failed to pull all the external
repositories.  Checkout fails at the end with:

     Fetching external item into 'PHP_5_3/ext/^/php/pecl/bz2/branches/PHP_5_3'
     svn: '.' is not a working copy
     svn: Can't open file '.svn/entries': No such file or directory

Based on Hannes's comment about not using svn 1.5.1, I assume that
1.5.2 is the minimum client version needed, not that there was something
buggy just in 1.5.1?
