While links are acceptable to mod_dav_svn, they won't appear in the repository listing. Note that you need the SVNListParent On statement in your Apache config to get a listing of the repositories. In 1.7 I've committed a small change to list symlinks to directories which will be part of 1.7. Bye, Erik.
