On the SpinDrop blog, Dave Dash has a few hints on using the combination of Symfony and Subversion to make working with a project easier.

He breaks it into four different sections:

• Ignoring files in cache/ and log/
• Ignore other auto-generated files
• Linking the symfony Library
• Linking to symfony Plugins

Each comes with its own snippet of code/configuration directives to help you set it up. Check out the comments for a slightly different example from another reader.
