How do I revert a symlink added to www folder?

If you get a merge failure error because of an svn:special file revert --recursive www will remove the offending file.

In CEE, the trunk/www folder, you are not permitted to commit a symlink. If you get the following error:

        Commit failed (details follow):
        svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/build-automation/trunk/www/cn-project-pages/etcetera/etcetera
        svn: Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 1) with output:
        Cannot add or change 'svn:special' property on or under www/ directory:

Revert the addition of the symlink from the command line as seen in the following code sample:

svn propdel svn:special www/<symlink>
svn revert --recursive www
