[Ape] .svn files causing problems

[Kelly McDonald]

someone provided me with the answer elsewhere (Thanks to Brad Clements
for pointing me in the right direction), posting here for posterity:

In etc/zope.conf, add the hidden-filenames option, like this::


<ape-db fs>
  <ape-storage>
    mapper-variation filesystem
    <ape-fs-connection fs>
      basepath $INSTANCE/var/myfs
      hidden-filenames _|\.svn
    </ape-fs-connection>
  </ape-storage>
  mount-point /Example/P/FS
  scan-interval 10
</ape-db>
