Sometimes I run commands to walk down the filesystem and do things to
the files in them.  With CVS this was never a problem, never a false
hit, because CVS did not keep a pristine copy of the database around.

Example:

  find . -name foo -print0 | xargs -r0 sed --in-place 's/foo/bar/g'

But now I find that I need to be aware that in the .svn directory is a
pristine copy of the same file.  The above won't match because the
pristine copy always has .svn-base appended to the end.  But the
following would match and would edit both the working copy and the
pristine copy in the .svn directory.

  find . -name 'foo*' -print0 | xargs -r0 sed --in-place 's/foo/bar/g'

I have no idea if this is possibly the type of thing that happened to
you or not.  But I thought I would mention it because it seems
plausible.
