Catch my Point

Lately I am avoiding VSS for all my new projects and using only Subversion + TortoiseSVN, the speed is really awesome. Some of the issues I had was with TortoiseSVN was

1. By default read-only attribute is not set when I Lock or Unlock files

   This can be changed by setting svn:needs-lock property in project settings more info

2. TortoiseSVN adds .svn folder in every project folder, when I zip my project this folder takes so much time & space

   This was little tricky, there are options doing this using TortoiseSVN commands but the easiest way is to do
   
   Create a text file called C:\No.SVN.txt, with only one line, ".svn" in it.
   
   XCopy C:\VersionedFolder

C:\UnVersionedFolder /EXCLUDE:C:\No.SVN.txt /E /C /I /F /R /Y more info
