svnignore

I use TortoiseSVN 1.7.9. How can I ignore / remove contents from /bin folder when I svn commit the project folder? I don't want to commit files such as .dll , .pdb , etc. I put .dll .pdb entry in svn:ignore property but it does not work and these files still show up in the list when I perform a commit. I don't use command line client. In Windows Explorer I right-click on root project folder and click commit in TortoiseSVN context menu. You can find the answer in the TortoiseSVN manual and SVNBook . TortoiseSVN Manual tells us: If the files are already in the repository, they have to be deleted

If I svn:ignore a really big folder will it improve performance during SVN updates? I have this really massive (>600MB) folder in my project. The files in this folder should not be changing at all. The problem is that every time I call "svn update" it takes forever. Is there a way to ignore this folder during updates to speed up the update process? The svn:ignore is only for files that are not already in the Subversion repository. This folder already is. You can use the svn update --set-depth exclude folderName to remove this folder from your working directory: $ svn update --set-depth exclude

I would like to know which file svn propset svn:ignore modifies (equivalent to .gitignore ) so that I can actually commit that file to the repo. E.g. I am working with Java and Maven , which creates a directory named "target", which I am ignoring. svn propset svn:ignore target . does work but I don't know which settings file is modifies by that command so that I propagate the change to my team.

We have certain configuration files which we want to be in version control as they specify project's default settings: search path, conditional defines etc. Unfortunately these files are also used by the IDE (Delphi 5) to hold temporary information. The IDE continually updates the files during development which causes Tortoise to flag the working directory as modified all the time even though all that might have happened is a build of the project. Sometimes we do genuinely want to commit changes to these files, for example if the projects search path dependencies change, but the grand majority

With the svn:ignore property, is there a way I can specify what I want to ignore based on patterns which I don't want to ignore? In other words, I want to ignore everything but files ending in .xyz. How would I go about doing that (if it's even possible)? One option I've explored is committing everything I want to be versioned, then setting the svn:ignore property on the directory to be '*', thus meaning no other files but what I've already committed will be versioned. This is the best I can come up with, but it feels dirty in that if I ever did need to add another file to be version, I'd have

Is there a way to setup a global list of Ignores for a SVN Repository or for the SVN Client on the PC? The only reason I'm using tools like Tortoise/Ankh/VisualSVN is because I want to only check in the files I need without all the bin/obj/Resharper stuff. I'm spoiled by .gitignore and .hgignore which I just copy to a repository and then use git commit -a without having to care about checking in junk. I know I can manually set it, but that's tedious to do and I think it had to be applied to every new folder that gets created as well. Using SVN under Windows. On an install of Subversion, there
