For a symlink you must check out the whole tree. This contradicts
the idea of "single package checkout" when introducing mGAR
(m = modular). Just making "cp" instead of "svn cp" forgets the
file history. You can nicely see this when you browse the file,
e. g.
   <http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/gar/log/csw/mgar/pkg/pkgconfig/trunk/files/fixme.sh?rev=3874
