Re: ".svn" directory name no good (in fact, it is worse than I thought)

I guarantee you... it will.

Can someone do it, and, while your at it, put P1 on it and due 0.32.
Seriously. This is getting really problematic as we move to a real
development environment! Since this is due to a security patch, this has to
be fixed in svn.

>also open an issue with Microsoft.

This is NOT a bug in Microsoft ASP.NET as someone else noted. The
".something" problem in ASP.NET stems from a security patch that prevents
directory names containing periods under IIS virtual directories. Microsoft
is never ever going to go back on this one. It's a feature now...

And in case you guys haven't noticed: IIS, ASP, ASP.NET, FrontPage,
WebServices, etc on Windows is a big part of a lot of people's working day.
I don't think they'll enjoy this bug...

That said, I'm still in love with Subversion even if she cheats on me
sometimes :-)
