I'm trying to checkout a public repo on a windows box, and a corporate antivirus is screwing me by flagging a .svn file as a virus and deleting it (thus rendering the checkout invalid).
svn co -q http://www.boxbackup.org/svn/box/RELEASE/0.11.1 The "bad" file is .svn/pristine/bd/bd10f1e696452058fbb0bbe2eff52c03437cb033.svn-base 'file' reports it as: ..svn/pristine/bd/bd10f1e696452058fbb0bbe2eff52c03437cb033.svn-base: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit So it looks like a windows exe which gets the antivirus program (McAfee Enterprise) all hot and bothered flagging the file as Artemis!7F2A64279A7D and deleting it. Of course, I can't disable the AV for that file on this $corp windows box (group policy doesn't allow that). Workarounds? I thought about converting to a different version control program (convert svn to mercurial on checkout for instance), but I'm not sure that would work and I wanted to keep it as a svn repo if possible.
