Best Practice: Collaborative Environment, Bin Directory, SVN

Question

What are the best practices for checking in BIN directories in a collaborative development environment using SVN? Should project level references be excluded from checkin?

Answer 1

Is this a .Net specific question?

Generally the best practice is to not check in anything which is built automatically from files that are already in SCM. All of that is ideally created as part of your automatic build process.

If the bin directory you're referring to contains third-party binaries, rather than a build of your project, ignore (downvote?) this advice.
