Help with git-svn and SVN symlinks

Help with git-svn and SVN symlinks

[Sadystio Ilmatunt]

Hi,

I have been using git-svn successfully for last 1 year.
But yesterday somebody checked in something in SVN using svn client
and It caused inconsitency in GIT-svn repository.

In one of SVN Merge commit, Some symlink files were not made "svn
special" by mistake,
So there was another SVN commit with only property change to convert
these files into symlink.
Git-svn should have picked this commit and converted these files into
symlink but I think it missed it, Now I have text files in Git
codebase instead of symlinks.
In SVN repository these files are symlinks.

How should I fix this?

Any update about this:

I created this simple bug test to reproduce my problem.
I tried on latest GIT, It fails.
It is really preventing me from using GitSvn.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Let me know if you have any questions.
