NET/ASP.NET seems to have a problem with the “.svn” directory name. What should I do?
VS.Net has a subsystem called ASP.Net, which uses WebDAV to do remote publishing through IIS. This subsystem rejects any pathname that starts with “.”. This causes a problem when you try to remotely publish a Subversion working copy, because of the “.svn” subdirectories. The error message says something like “unable to read project information”. To work around this, set the environment variable SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK to any value — this will tell Windows clients to use “_svn” as a directory name in your working copy. See the relevant section of the Subversion 1.3 release notes for more details, and see this question for other ways to customize the administrative directory name.
