title: Will creating a new folder break subversion?
body: <p>I have a subversion repository, but there are some things that I don't want it to mess with. For example, SVN breaks mac resource files because unix doesn't know about the resource fork. </p>
  
  <p>However, I still want some form of back-up/version control. I would like to be able to just create a folder within the top level repository folder, and stick my stuff there. However, the readme.txt file in that folder says "don't touch this unless you know what you're doing". </p>
  
  <p>So, is it safe to do that?</p>
  
  <p>thanks.</p>
