What percentage of potential users of subversion is going to be developing
ASP.NET applications in VS.NET, backed by IIS?
Because that is what we are talking about. This is NOT a windows bug.
This is also not a VS.NET bug (although it should account for this), instead
it is an IIS bug.

When are the masses going to be equal to ASP.NET on IIS developers?

What are you blabbing about perl now? Did any issue with the .svn folders
occur in combination with perl on windows? No? Then stop using arguments
that have no facts backing them.
I'm stopping here, since I am starting to get way to pissed of to turn this
into a sensible reply. I'll let someone else take over...
