I lean towards the 'don't do it!' school of thought but I have done jobs
where the client insisted on having access to the source code.
One compromise that we came up with once was to put all the source code on
a disc which was then held in trust by a mutually agreed firm of solicitors
(lawyers). We authorised this firm to give the disc to the client under
certain conditions - over my dead body basically.
We kept control of our code but the client still had access in an emergency.
