What project files shouldn't be checked into SVN

Question

At the moment I check in all my files (including dll\'s, VS solution files, images, etc). I often need to checkout these files to a staging server or to a another developer

Answer 1

I check in everything that is part of the project or is a dependancy of the project, including but not limited to assemblies it is dependant upon, SQL Scripts to generate the db and test data, unit tests, docs, diagrams, pretty much anything else a dev would need. As far as what I dont include is dll's that will be generated, pdb's and xml comments that are generated with the project/solution.

As a sidenote though, there is an exception. SOme projects may require someone to have access to the solution but may not be able to compile/build it. In those cases, depending on what the project is, I may include the latest build binaries.
