title: Using SVN in web-development
body: <p>Recently I've read this article: <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/09/25/svn-strikes-back-a-serious-vulnerability-found/" rel="nofollow">http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/09/25/svn-strikes-back-a-serious-vulnerability-found/</a></p>
  
  <p>Developers of many popular sites like apache.org, php.net (http://ru2.php.net/.svn/entries), classmates.com and russian Yandex use SVN, but do not follow the recommendations given by SVN (to use command <code>export</code>).</p>
  
  <p>So, <strong>what are the reasons</strong> for not using <code>svn export</code> instead of updating the public copy like all they do?</p>
