Trunk also has this symlink issue:-

Are you sure about that ? I just made a checkout of https://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/hobbitmon/trunk/ hobbitd/webfiles which has the "trunk" header+footer files, and it gave me a fine set of symlinks pointing at the bb_footer file.
What SVN client are you using ? If it's a Windows-based client then I suspect it may not be able to handle symlinks correctly, since there's really no equivalent to symlinks on Windows.
Oops. My bad! I thought I thought I could download faster to my Windows computer, which uses a different route, and then copy the directory tree over to the Linux server, especially as I wanted a copy on my Windows computer anyway! Sorry!
(There sort of are equivalents to symlinks on Windows, but they're pretty obscure and fairly new: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link, http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=341355 "how to create a symbolic link under Win2K, WinXP, and above?", but http://tortoisesvn.net/node/293 "Symbolic links should be supported".)
Oh, and I missed one symlink in my quoted e-mail from yesterday: acknowledge_footer -> bb_footer.
