Does subversion support symbolic links?

From the Subversion FAQ:

Subversion 1.1 (and later) has the ability to put a symlink under version control, via the usual svn add command.

Details: the Subversion repository has no internal concept of a symlink. It stores a “versioned symlink” as an ordinary file with an ’svn:special’ property attached. The svn client (on unix) sees the property and translates the file into a symlink in the working copy. Win32 has no symlinks, so a win32 client won’t do any such translation: the object appears as a normal file.

So I tested this with:

cd propsite/tools/library
ln -s ../../config/database.yml .
svn add database.yml
svn ci -m "Symlink test"

And then on the test server:

cd propsite2
svn up
cd tools/library
ls -la

The symlink is there, and correct.
