This problem cannot be solved the the build-system;
and the problem is also not limited to build related problems
-> see my previous posting for detailed arguments.

Maybe (I only know cvs and svn).
But this does not solve the problem ;-)
Btw, subversion is better than other version control
systems in many respects! So it would be cool it
is better in this case, too! ;-)

In our case (replacement(!) of a directory containing temporary
files, where svn update fails without changing the wc)
the only solution I know is to delete the complete directory
(including .svn directories @%§&@) before update,
or to selectively delete all svn:ignore files before update
(how should I do this under windows? @%§$"%@)
Does anyone knows an alternative?

I think it would be cool to avoid such hacks,
especially since the user didn't do anything wrong.

Cheers,
Folker
