svn ignore

[rax_m]

Hi all,

I am setting up an svn repository for our development team. I need to set the svn ignore property on the repository, so that all files of a certain type are ignored (e.g. *.log and *.done).

The install is done on redhat.

Can I do this in a config file without using the svn:ignore command?

Thanks
Rax

you can edit your ~/.subversion/config :

[auto-props]
*.log = svn:ignore

but this will only work for newly imported files; the ones that are under svn already will not be changed.

Hi surfer,

Thanks for the reply. Won't that only affect me as one user?
I would like the ignore to apply to anyone who uses that repo.

yes, that will only affect you. i'm not sure it can be done globally; shouldn't every user be able to check in whatever he/she likes?
