Therefore there is no reason for the user to turn this off.
i have painful experience with applications which scan neighbourhood of the folders you are working in case you are working in networked filesystem. one mount point freezes and unrelated application freezes as well. considering that svn is used by small minority of people it looks as asking for troubles for little gain. this small group need to do extra steps to start using svn at all (eg manual checkout) so asking for one more checkbox does not look so horrid. pavel
