[nycbug-talk] [OT] - Subversion Conflicts

[Mikel King]

you can svn delete the log files and what not, they will remain in  
their revision level so you will not loose them. a better option may  
be to mlsvn mv them to another location in the repo so that they do  
not get checked out w/ the running code.

Cheers,
m!
