Agreed. We are still trying to figure out how the "evil one" (as he is now
called) managed to create such an abomination. He really does not know how
it happened and we couldn't figure out a way to repeat it.

Thanks for your advice. We will use it if there is a repeat of this. What we
did (prior to receiving your advice) was use "svn copy" to recreate the
trunk without the "*" directory. Not the best solution I know, but it got us
going again. The "*" directory is still in the repository, just at some old
revision. At some point I suppose we should take your advise and try to
clean it out.

Thanks again,

Mike
