That FAQ entry would need a title like "virus scanners are crap!" or
something like that. Because the issue with the readonly flag is not the
only one. Virus scanners interfere with network traffic (causing
corrupted data in the repository, errors while checking out, preventing
authentication, ...), they interfere with files (causing errors like
'can't move file' or 'file XXX locked' or others) when updating/checking
out, slow down the whole system ("commit takes 30 minutes for a 3kb
File!"), and they even 'readjust' the file modification time ("TSVN does
not recognize modified files").

Honestly: I'd rather catch a virus than install a virus scanner. A virus
at least tries to hide itself as best as possible, which means it
doesn't interfere or make my computer unusable.
