Default excludes and Subversion on Windows
Hi there,
The subversion documentation suggests, that there are problems with the
'.' in '.svn' for certain windows installations and proposes a workaround:
Setting the environment variable: SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK=1 would result in
having it as '_svn' instead.
Would it be possible to therefore introduce '_svn' into the default
excludes too?

The problem with this is that I know that I name some project
directories _<project>, so that they are always listed first in
Windows Explorer. So for example if I was working on the svn source
code, I might well have a directory called _svn - I know at least one
other person who does this so that it's easier to find the current
working project. Since I don't work on svn, I won't have this
problem, but someone else may and may call a directory _svn. Having
said all that - the people who work on svn have blessed the _svn
hack, so presumambly this is now standard </end rambling nonsense>
+0 for a change to defaultexcludes, I can see a potential problem,
but it seems that the svn guys want to use this hack, so I'm
ambivalent towards adding it.

According to
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.3_releasenotes.html
"The "_svn" hack is now officially supported: since some versions of
ASP.NET don't allow directories beginning with dot ..."
So I think we should add it to the default set in 1.7

Not sure. On my work XP machine subversion doesn't create _svn
folders, you probably need to ask for it explicitly.

Given Subversion's (and Windows') popularity, wouldn't it make sense for
this to be in the default excludes? I think the chances of someone
making a file named "_svn" with some other meaning are pretty slim.

You can use the <defaultexcludes> task to do that.

This is a user list question. Please look at
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/defaultexcludes.html for a solution.
