Yes, when *accessing* files on a webserver default Apache setting
is to forbid access to .ht* files. Yet for committing into an SVN

Freedom quote:
"Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders.
Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives
and say: 'I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't.
I can. And my children will.'"
