Hi,

I just found out that monotone doesn't store symlinks (ln -s foo bar ; mtn 
commit bar),
and decided to read the manual again:

"The attribute mechanism was originally motivated by the fact that some people 
like to
store executable programs in version control systems, and would like the 
programs to
remain executable when they check out a workspace. For example, the configure 
shell script
commonly shipped with many programs should be executable. Similarly, some 
people would
like to store devices, symbolic links, read-only files, and all manner of extra 
attributes
of a file, not directly related to a file's data content."

But I can't find anywhere in the docs how I can set the symlink attribute :(
Is the attr already implemented or has is been postponed till a time when 
everybody is
using a symlink capable FS (death to FAT!) ?


regards,

Koen
