There are a few such files, but I don't know *when* they are created.
Normally there are no such files for ordinary updates. Maybe they get
created when there is a conflict?
I know that if you work on a binary file and do an update where a
newer revision of the binary file is fetched then the .# file is
created by renaming the sandbox file.

I there anyone that knows for sure when these files get created when
dealing with text files?
