Well.. This is certainly surprising. Given that when I look at my develop checkout I see 1816 entries. All of which, except for some dirs, are symlinks. I do expect *all* of them to be links though. So having some dirs in there seems wrong.
"Split" directories aren't symlinks. For example, boost/detail is a split directory, in that some of its contents are in libs/this, and others in libs/that. Long term, all directories except the top level boost/ would be symlinks, but we aren't there yet. Files should always be symlinks and never copies though. I don't know how in John's installation the files ended up being copies.
