If you work on a mac (as i do) your directories get poluted with .DS_Store, ._ and .AppleDoubel files. Apple (this is THE missing Finder feature!) has no option to turn this crap off.
Now when you use svn, you will also import all these useless files.

Thank god there is a option in svn to globally ignore specific files.
Just edit the file:

~/subversion/config

Find the line global-ignores, uncomment it and make it something like this:

global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store .AppleDouble ._*

Whoot!

In my opinion this is THE missing finder option... The ability to create a new file.
This finder plugin has exaclty this functionality: NuFile

Because i keep forgetting this crap:

Press Shift-Alt-Apple then drag the folder to somewhere to create a shortcut.
This only works on the SAME disk/partition.

To stop Max OSX from creating .DS_Store files on network drives (and prevent pissing of your co-workers) just type in this on a terminal and reboot:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

When you use TextMate (or any other editor) for editing you cannot remote edit files when you use cyberduck. It even does not work when you connect to the FTP server using the Finder.

The ultimate solution to get this working is this: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

First install the MacFuse core, and the sshfs.
Now run sshfs, connect to your server, and drag the files from the mounted server to your project in TextMate.

Frustrating... When you double click a variable $blah in your script most editors do not select the $ sign.
After testing dozens of editors i came to the conclusion i had to live with it.
For some stupid reason i suddenly see the option "Word characters".
Filling in _$ did the trick! Now TextMate selects variables the way it should.
