IIRC, what he meant was that if you have "project/src" under Subversion
control, i.e. you have a "project/src/.svn", then his IDE copies
"project/src" to some build directory, let's say "project/build".
Having copied "project/src/.svn" to "project/build/.svn", implicitly,
Subversion from know on thinks, that "project/build" is under version
control, too. No bug from Subversion, but an side-effect which can be
annoying as hell.
