[CC to the list, remember to reply-to-all]
Why would the CI implement a different solution for each VCS? Those, I
understand, are files created during the build process, they have got
nothing to do with SVN or any other VCS. And it's not a SVN specific
implementation as, again, the files were not created by SVN so they've
got nothing to do with it.
From Subversion's point of view the the WC is absolutely fine. The
unversioned files are ignore and there are no missing files (and if
there are a simple svn up will restore them)
But maybe I'm missing something?
