But on my windows 2000 I got this interesting result. I'am using svn 1.6.6 command-line. F:\test2\tags>svn st M . ? a.txt ? bbbb.py F:\test2\tags>svn ps svn:ignore "*" . property 'svn:ignore' set on '.' F:\test2\tags>svn st M . F:\test2\tags>svn st --no-ignore M . I a.txt I bbbb.py F:\test2\tags>svn pg svn:ignore . * The other way to set it (or any other properties) was the svn pe sub-command. Personally, I use it to avoid any problems.
