I think this might be the best solution to your problem, but I still
don't understand why you would not consider this, at all.
Let's see:
1) I don't see any problem with this (maybe with the fact that everyones
family fotos are under version control, but). Just delete the folder
2) Having 3rd party software in version control is indeed a terribile
idea. 3rd party should not be versioned at all, as you are not doing any
development on it. You should be providing unversioned installers or
libraries instead.
3) I can't see how user-error has something to do with this
4) see above - unless your developers are monkeys that are just supposed
to function and not to think.
Maybe, I'm really getting your take on the given solution though. IMHO
this is exactly what you want. Just have your buildscript (which should
be version controlled btw) create that template file for every user and
you and they are sweet. This envolves some work for you and a simple
update and rebuild (which happens after every update anyhow) for your
developers.
Cheers,
Stanley
