+ the Subversion administrative directory, Windows users may
+ run into problems with the ASP.NET Web application framework

+ dot (<literal>.</literal>). As a special consideration to
+ users in such situations, Subversion will instead use
+ <literal>_svn</literal> as the administrative directory name

+ to <literal>_svn</literal> when this <quote>ASP.NET
