Who's in?

Well, it's fair enough that the article on clearing floats at http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html is incredibly concise, but people are mis-using the code.

The article was last updates on July 2, 2008, we've had years to get this right.

I had to change TortoiseSVN to use .svn directories instead of _svn directories.

This left a lot of "_svn" directories in my source tree. I did a search in windows for "_svn" and it returned ~26k files, crashed explorer when I attempted a delete, then caused a full checkdisk on a reboot because explorer still hadn't recovered properly in five minutes.
