Or maybe do svn co --ignore-externals and then add your symlink to an
existing externals ?

"Besides the svn checkout, svn update, svn switch, and svn export
commands which actually manage the disjoint (or disconnected)
subdirectories into which externals are checked out, the svn status
command also recognizes externals definitions. It displays a status code
of X for the disjoint external subdirectories, and then recurses into
those subdirectories to display the status of the external items
themselves. You can pass the --ignore-externals option to any of these
subcommands to disable externals definition processing."
