I'm fighting with svn at the moment.

My situation is simple : I have a working copy, let's call this folder wc. In my working copy, I want to put in a lot of folders, but I want some of them, and some of the files inside them not to be added (ignored so).

I tried to use propset on . to ignore a single file (test.js), but here is the problem :

  • When I use svn add ., nothing is added.
  • When I use svn add *, everything is added. It's like using proset svn:ignore is useless (even though I got the message saying the prop was set).
  • I made a main folder, and tried to put all inside, propsetting it, and did the two above commands : same result.

  • I also tried to version the folder and propsetting it, then trying to add the subfolders, I get the same problem.

    • Edit : I tried svn propset svn:ignore "*lolo*" main and then svn add --force main, it works halfway, as main/lolo is ignored, main/totololototo is ignored, but main/baba/lolo is not ignored.

Try this:

$ svn propedit svn:ignore .

This will open your editor. Write the list of files and directories your want to ignore. Save and close the editor.

Then commit the changes:

$ svn ci -m "ignoring some file" .
