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?
