How can I exclude SVN files from harvesting with heat (WiX)?

[jbierling]

I hate to practically duplicate existing questions, but the supplied answers haven't worked:

Here's what my .wxs looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">

<Fragment>

<DirectoryRef Id="SDKCONTENTDIR">

<Directory Id="dirE2EC21E8B765C611E918FB22F30721D1" Name=".svn" />

<Directory Id="dir7DC42F44E7FE9E20277B180A353D0263" Name="bin" />

</DirectoryRef>

</Fragment>

<Fragment>

<ComponentGroup Id="sdkContent">

<Component Id="cmp5E86312F0CA2C53B8173AECD6A428747" Directory="dirE2EC21E8B765C611E918FB22F30721D1" Guid="{E87F312D-9DA2-4A68-B6C5-BCE2FF90720C}">

<File Id="filB766A28A7577EB4311FD03CD707BC211" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.publishContentDir)\.svn\all-wcprops" />

</Component>

<Component Id="cmp6EF52B3E331F226299060D45F533DC07" Directory="dirE2EC21E8B765C611E918FB22F30721D1" Guid="{5EA6AB2D-20C3-4B07-8E0A-7C28135BE922}">

<File Id="fil83205196F05211A66F9D25A7A5496FBA" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.publishContentDir)\.svn\entries" />

</Component>

...

I'm using this .xsl code to exclude:

<xsl:key name="svn-search" match="wix:Component[ancestor::wix:Directory/@Name = '.svn']" use="@Id" />

<xsl:template match="wix:Directory[@Name='.svn']" />

<xsl:template match="wix:Component[key('svn-search', @Id)]" />

But I'm getting many "Error 48 Unresolved reference to symbol" errors as its not removing all child elements.

Ideas?

Here is what I got working:
