I think I was attempting to duplicate the tree to test certain aspects
while reverting some other local changes. Therefor I wanted the
symbolic links to be self contained.
But indeed my patch is broken. It would actually need something like
"--target-directory=" which seem to be GNU extension to 'ln' and
therefor less portable.
Another alternative would be to 'cd' into each directory prior to
creating the symbolic link.

ACK. I'll keep the change local for now. Once I understand more of the
current SVN-symlink infrastructure I can figure out how this could fix
in the greater picture.
