Dramatic OpenVMS performance increase for co / update

I am posting this for the benefit of other OpenVMS SVNKIT users.

I have had problems checking out / updating large directories, 2700 files or more. The check out time was 60 (sixty) minutes and the CPU time just as much.

After defining svnkit.symlinks=false the checkout time dropped from 60 minutes to 4 minutes.

I added the following change to startup file "jsvnsetup.openvms".
It is important that the quoting is exactly as below to get the final jsvn command right.

....
$ OPT = """""-Dsvnkit.symlinks=false"""""
