Yes, typical SVN use cases are of no concern. One case I could imagine where this might matter is some automated service which records user-provided files in SVN. Another case is where people use SVN to version home directories which include a Downloads folder with files such as images from the internet. That's all a bit far fetched, though I know of one person using SVN to keep /home under version control. > This whole discussion -in its many iterations- is one of the reasons why I > never looked at enabling this feature on Windows.
