--- Comment #8 from Rick Foos <rfoos at codeaurora.org> ---
The proposed workaround for this bug should be part of the Windows
documentation.

Multisource\Applications\ClamAV\inputs\rtf-test\rtf1.rtf\EICAR.COM detected as
a virus on McAfee and other scanners.

Attempted several workarounds in SVN. While svn can ignore a file from status,
it cannot prevent an ignored file from being downloaded.

svn co/up cannot handle the antivirus software removing the file, and loses
precious files in the .svn directory. At that point, the checkout is useless.

While git can ignore a file, svn propedit must set a property. Anything we hide
using svn:ignore is saved in the repo and thus applies to everyone’s checked
out code. The svn:igonore really only applies to svn status, and doesn't keep
the file away.

Using svn co --depth immediate, svn up --set-depth infinity, and so on to walk
the directory tree is awkward at best. This could possibly function, but too
difficult to maintain.

WORKAROUND: test-suite contains EICAR.COM virus in rtf1.rtf.
On Windows svn checkout/update fails, repository unusable.

GIT clone can handle antivirus file removal without errors, and allows the
test-suite to work on Windows.
