`defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores TRUE` should solve the first issue at least.

I was just thinking today it'd be nice if there was some kind of gitignore for SMB uploads to prevent Thumbs.db, Desktop.ini, and .DS_Store from ever uploading. I put a cron script on our work server to delete them periodically but that's the best thing I can find.

> Peppering the network drive with trash files containing OSX-specific metadata
There's an app that will automatically clean those up. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it right now. Hopefully it'll pop up on Google for you, if you're interested.
- Peppering the network drive with trash files containing OSX-specific metadata
- Failing to reconnect when the computer goes to sleep, except not really because it thinks the drive is still there, but you have to go through the connection process all over again before you can actually use it.
- Getting out of sync with the file server and keeping the local copies of some files under slightly-different-names. But you can't see the real ones either, even after you reconnect. So all of your path references just break.
etc. etc. etc.
