Re (1): I'm not convinced it's only a UFS problem. My 10.4 DVD arrived
today so I'll be able to test this on HFS+ soon.
Re (2): There may be valid reasons to include ._ files in the
repository. They contain the resource fork, so any files that are
old-school Mac files that require resource forks would be destroyed if
the ._ file were not maintained. And since 10.4 now stores even more
stuff in there (ACL properties for example?) there may now be even more
reason one would want to version those.
