Description

Lucene won't tolerate foreign files in its index directories. This makes it impossible to keep an index in a CVS or Subversion repository.

For instance, this exception appears when creating a RAMDirectory from a java.io.File that contains a subdirectory called ".svn".

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/local/ejj/ic/.caches/.search/.index/.svn
(Is a directory)
