Hi, I usually run TeX Live live (no kidding) from the SVN tree. I noticed it seems to disturb luaotfload, presumably because a lot of wrong files (from the .svn subdirectories) end up listed in the cache (on a regular installation, I've got no problem).
I suggest explicitly excluding those directories during exploration of the font trees, just as mktexlsr does. More precisely, directories matching the following (sed) regex (taken from mktexlsr code) should be excluded: \.\(bzr\|git\|hg\|svn\)\|CVS\|RCS\|_darcs (to be reimplemented in lua as using a hash of forbidden values I guess, since lua regexes do not support alternation). Thanks, Manuel.
