Who told you that? If I release binaries I like to keep them around, so
I know exactly what I shipped to my customers. Ofcourse I don't want to
keep every binary on each commit, so I don't add the build output
locations to my repository. But I do manually add binaries that were
created from a tag and add them to that tag. I also add the debug symbol
and map files, which may be essential if you want to solve customer
problems.
If you don't store your binaries that and you receive an error report
what are you gonna do? If you haven't stored the binaries you have to
recompile them from the tag. But this might result in totally different
(unusable) files, because over time your compiler might have been
updated/patched etc.
Actually I often add all files related to my projects in a repository,
even compilers and other tools. This allows me to re-create exact
working environments.

That problem is only relevant when using ASP.NET projects in Visual
Studio (and can be easily solved by converting web projects to normal
projects:

cts). It has nothing to do with the original posters question. The
problem isn't the naming of the ".svn" folder! It's the fact that Visual
Studio actually deletes the "Debug" and "Release" folders and
re-creating them during a build. In the process the ".svn" (or the
"_svn" folder) get deleted too, which results in a corrupt working copy.
