Thanks for detailed explanation.
I use build folder to synchronize web project with production server
and find it very convenient practice. I can't name any reasons why it
could be considered bad to use SVN for updating files, to switch
branches and quickly rollback in case something goes wrong.
Is it possible to provide an option or a hack to make our team
provider recursively ignore Derived attribute for certain folders?
