.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / May 2004BUG! VS.Net is choking on directories starting with a '.'
We just started using Subversion (mainly because VSS is crappy and does not scale much at all). Unfortunantly, we have discovered that VS.Net is not so happy with the change. Actually what it is choking on is that each directory in our source tree has a directory called .svn. Turns out to have nothing to do with Subversion, rather, VS.Net just starts to choke on any directory that starts with a '.'!!! This is a serious problem for us. I'm see that it has been reported before. Does anyone know if there is a hotfix or anything to address this issue in VS.Net? Ray I use XP Home. I just tried creating a folder with a leading '.' and it wont accept it. Looks like an OS limitation. You may of course have been able to force the issue from a program but not read from or change to it.

However, that VS.Net has a problem with it creates a serious issue. It means it is incompatable with some 3rd party version control systems. (Which is nearly a requirement give that VSS can't scale beyond about 3-5 gigs (MS's docs). Ours was much larger before we were forced to switch becuase we had so many problems with VSS.) Can someone from MS tell me if a hotfix for VS.Net exists to address this issue? Ray > I use XP Home. I just tried creating a folder with a leading '.' and it wont > accept it.
