storing softlinks: Howto or workaround? |

Hi. I need to store softlinks as part of a directory hierarchy being
version controlled. I know cvs isn't set up to handle them very well,
but I've read there are ways to do it. Now I just gzip a tarball of
the entire directory hierarchy and archive that. This works, but has
several drawbacks:
it's checked in as a single, large, binary
it creates a second step on checkout
it makes doing a "cvs diff" useless and/or impossible
it creates a real error-prone nuisance on any checkin
What can be done about this without switching away from cvs?
Thanks!
