Under Linux I use a script to make symlinks. This is much better than svn, because update is faster (one update not five).
If you are using Linux, your convenience, here is my script (which I run from the base working directory [carefully unwrap any lines!]):
$ cat bin/fix-geoserver-links
#!/bin/sh
ln -sfn ../../../data/minimal src/web/app/minimal
ln -sfn ../../../../../../../../../../src/web/core/src/main/java/org/geoserver/web/css src/web/app/src/test/java/org/geoserver/wicket/test/css
ln -sfn ../../../../../../../../../../src/web/core/src/main/java/org/geoserver/web/img src/web/app/src/test/java/org/geoserver/wicket/test/img
ln -sfn ../../data/citewfs-1.1/styles data/citewfs-1.1-h2/styles
Does Win7 support some sort of symlink?

Failure looks straight forward:

Unable to locate configuration: /Users/jody/java/geoserver/trunk/src/web/app/minimal
The indicated directory does not exist; I assume this refers to a "default" for the geoserver data directory that I have not set.
