SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK

Hello subversion developers,

I'm not subscribed so please CC me on any responses. A colleague pointed
out to me today that this workaround is unnecessary.
Apparently what Visual Studio .NET is looking for is the presence of the
"Bin" directory inside the webservice. This is not there until the solution
is built, and unfortunately VS.NET has a chicken & egg bug where the
solution won't load (ie, directly after a checkout from svn) unless the dir
is there, and the dir isn't (normally) there until the solution is loaded &
built ;)

He always uses subversion with the regular .svn directories and has simply
made the Bin directory any time VS.NET has complained, and has never had any
problem.

If this can be shown to always be the case (I've only tested it successfully
here) then perhaps this is a better thing to do than the ugly hack which for
some clients (eg, tortoisesvn) requires a system reboot; automatically
create the Bin directory if a VS.NET web service is detected on checkout.

Cheers,
