That file is http://www.boxbackup.org/svn/box/RELEASE/0.11.1/contrib/windows/installer/tools/RemoteControl.exe


No idea what it is, but with a name like that, I can see why some $corps might be \
wary of it. A number of AV programs detect it as malware, not just McAfee: \

As for how to work around the problem, I guess you can avoid checking out that file \
by doing svn co --depth immediates http://www.boxbackup.org/svn/box/RELEASE/0.11.1 to \
get one level of files/directories in the 0.11.1 directory, cd into 0.11.1, then do \
svn up --set-depth infinity on all directories besides contrib. Then depending on \
what (if anything) you want from the contrib directory, cd in there and svn up \
--set-depth immediates, etc… getting as much as you can, while avoiding \
/contrib/windows/installer/tools/RemoteControl.exe

Perhaps there's an easier way to do this; I've never tried to exclude a specific file \
                from a checkout.
