With version 1.3 Subversion supports the <a target="_blank" href="http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.3_releasenotes.html">"_svn hack"</a>. That means, that the svn-libraries evaluate environment variables and use <i>.svn</i> or <i>_svn</i> directory regarding to that value. We had chosen not to evaluate environment variables to get a more reliable build. Instead you have to change the settings by yourself by changing the exclude patterns: <pre> <defaultexcludes remove="**/.svn"/> <defaultexcludes remove="**/.svn/**"/> <defaultexcludes add="**/_svn"/> <defaultexcludes add="**/_svn/**"/> </pre> <hr> <p align="center">Copyright © 2003-2006 The Apache Software Foundation.
