I'll chime in here.
Sometimes developers leave uncommitted files in their WC when they leave at the end of the day.
Regardless what branch(es) they use.
If the PC dies during the night, work is lost.
Regular backups help, but as most of the WC is in the repository, backing up the entire WC "wastes" backup space.
So I repeat (almost) the same question (in case someone figured out some solution):
Can the backup be persuaded to ignore files that are already stored on the SVN server?
A half solution is to ignore the .svn folder(s) in the backup process. (saving about 50)
Any other idea?
Currently I use Windows builtin file backup, but that could change.
The client systems are using Windows 7.
