My personnal experience is that generally it is the very first kind of
issues people are facing.
For instance, you add all your project files, and suddenly you figure
out that tons of .lst, .obj, map and so on files are to be commited too
(he wants to make things well) !
Then after deleting them as usual (through the explorer), you prepare
for your first commit, which will fail !
The beginner has then to recover from a complete mess, which could
discourage him (if he is alone, without anyone being able to help him !).
I would say that may be the best would be to ignore a file which has
been added and which cannot be found, by the way if it is not present
anymore ... But may be it is something relevant to svn instead ?
Another possibility would be to be able to "resynchronise" with the
local dirs ?
regards,
Vincent.
