Well acl's won't work well here, because .svn folders are created in every folder of your application by the subversion client. You can expect me to go through hundreds of folders and set the acl on every .svn subfolder. The reason I suspect it's easier with Apache is because apache has a lot of different options for the config file, and I bet one of those directives will do just what I want... disallow access to .svn folders. IIS just has the GUI, which isn't very rich, and I don't remember any options anywhere for disallowing access to specifically named folders.

If you don't know how to do it with either one, what is the basis for your feeling? If you have a specific directory that you want to manage with regard to IIS, you set ACLs on it appropriately. Just like you'd set ACLs on files in a SMB share. So, for people who have that experience - practically every Windows server administrator in the world - I suspect IIS is easier. If you don't know how to set ACLs, I imagine it's a toss-up. But honestly, you're putting way too much thought into this, I suspect. Either IIS 6 or Apache will do what you need them to do.
