[TSVN] Re: virus scanner known _not_ to behave badly

If that was true, I would throw my virus scanner away, since it would nt
find virusses in command line programs. The svn command line tools are
native 32 bit windows NT applications that are compiled for the console
mode. All file i/o goes through the windows file system calls and are
therefore checked by the on-access virus scanners.

I am also very sure that the compatibility layer for old 16 bit DOS
applications uses the windows file system calls and therefore are under
control of virus scanners.

So if the GUI is affected but command line tools are not, then there
must be other differences.
