RE: [TSVN] Politics of SVN[Scanned]

OK, but how does blaming M$ get this problem solved?
 
I ring up M$ and say something like, "errrm, hi! I don't want to buy Visual SourceSafe cos it's ****, but I'm using this really cool open source product called SVN, and it doesn't work properly with Frontpage extensions. It's your fault, can you fix it please??"
 
When they've stopped laughing they're gonna hang up on me!
 
I'm not actually interested in 'blame'. I just wanna get it sorted.
 
M$ don't want SVN to work (I guess) so they have no incentive. The SVN team (I hope) *do* want their code to work with ASP.NET development...
 
Seems simple to me. Why is the folder called '.svn' at all? It's a Unix nomenclature with no meaning on Windows. It would be like calling the program file 'svn.exe' on Linux, that would go down great I'm sure! LOL.
 
But this isn't the place to have the discussion, so I'll shut up about it!
 
Peace and goodwill,
 
John

        Whatever, I find it hard to totally blame M$ for this, when the guys at
        Subversion are asking Frontpage extensions (on a potentially live website)
        to conform to Unix naming protocols for hidden folders. It's kinda not
        suprising it doesn't work!! Anyone would think they didn't like Windows ;)
        
        
        
        On the contrary, I find it totally easy to blame M$ for this, since many
        other apps have created "dot" folders/files in my home directory on Windows
        without disturbing anything else. Why is it that FrontPage extensions don't
        work well with this naming convention when so many other things do?
        
        Curiously,
