How about if you just made the symlink and commited it into the
repository?
cvsbook, administrative files, config:
* PreservePermissions (default: `=no') - If `yes', CVS tries to
preserve permissions and other special file system information
(such as device numbers and symbolic link targets) for files. You
probably don't want to do this, as it does not necessarily behave
as expected. (See the node `Special Files' in the Cederqvist
manual for details.)
So basically it should work if you just put "PreservePermissions=yes" in
CVSROOT/config, make the symlink in your checkout dir and commit as
usual.
I didn't actually try this, but I believe the docs are correct... :)
