    Thanks for the beta, looks awesome so far!

    We are sharing our project over SVN but when committing I noticed lots of files in the Library/GiCache. My first thought is to ignore on commit but I wanted to ask if anyone of you know for sure how to treat these files. Thanks!

    Basicly everything in the library folder actually. Not sure if Unity wants to re-genereate this by herself or if it should be commited and used across the whole team

    Yeah, the Library folder is personal. You should ignore it completely in version control. See elsewhere for the recommended .gitignore file - it contains a list of stuff you should ignore in SVN too.

    Yes, the Library folder should never be committed to source control.

    For now this does mean the GiCache data is not shared amongst your team - when you make a change to a scene and check it in, and the rest of your team all pull the change, they'll each find themselves rebaking GI individually.

    My guess is that this is the sort of problem that the Cache Server should eventually solve.
