Now Soliciting Your Subversion Horror Stories And Worst Practices
I'm giving a presentation at the end of the month on Subversion for my office. It's going to be recorded and I'll be sure to post the video here for anyone interested in watching.
Here's where I need your help: What are some of the craziest, dumbest, most ridiculous things you've ever seen done in Subversion (or some other version control system, as long as the scenario would still apply)?
Anything is fair game. Awful commit comments? Terrible branching or merging practices? I want to hear about it all, and I welcome your comments!

A project placed under Subversion, and then accessed by a group of developers via a central network share.
With legacy source code management tools like Visual Source Safe, network shares were the only way for groups to collaborate. For more modern and robust source code management systems (SVN, Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar) this practice is not endorsed, and generally discouraged.
