Can the .svn file be somewhere else?

[David Kramer <da...@thekramers.net>]

Someone told me you can do this.  I can't imagine how that would work, and 
can't find anything like that in the documentation or FAQ (Yes, I RTFMed), 
but I thought I would give it a shot.

The reason I ask is that both my friend and I want to use Subversion for 
Linux config files.  The problem is that some directories under /etc are 
expected to contain a list of files that need to get processed, like the 
cron directories and the rc.* directories.  I think the scripts would 
choke on the .svn directories.

I keep /etc under subversion control on two systems. They have been like that for 2 months now, (approx 60+ revisions each). With updates every day.

YMMV but it's happy for me.

I have nothing excluded except a few mtrg files that don't get added to the repo as they are temp files (god only knows why they are put in /etc and not var)

Although it's possible that files and directories starting with "." will be
ignored.  E.g., "for file in /etc/* ; do ... ; done" will ignore /etc/.*, as
a wildcard has to match a leading "." explicitly.
