Hello Chris,

According to Eclipse's Strategies for Handling Linked Resources: "In order 
to be "link friendly", a provider should allow projects with linked 
resources to be version controlled, but can disallow the version controlling 
of linked resources themselves."
So Subversive doesn't allow you to version linked resources.
