If we reject automatically handling _svn directories (as a "hack" as

I was under the impression that consensus was forming around adding
_svn/ to the default excludes unconditionally, not rejecting the idea.

I think we should add it and document it in big bold letters! If it truly is the only way that asp.net projects can use svn effectively, then I suppose we need to support it, but we should warn that if you have a 'normal' directory that happens to be called _svn you could experience strange behaviour

Regardless of what we do, we need to decide so that it can go into the release, therefore:

Default excludes to include the ASP.Net hack _svn directory for the release of Ant 1.7.0 + svn antlib, and documentation to be updated to reflect this change

we could leave it to <defaultexcludes>, but that relies on the build file author to get the exclusion list right, which means knowing that they will be built on windows and that on some versions of SVN the dir becomes _svn. Way too unlikely.

+1. What he said.
