I have a need to define a number of svn:ignore patterns in my project.
Some are specific directories somewhere in my project tree. Others are particular file types created by a build process such as *.o which may be found in any number of directories.
However, the svn propset command only allows the recursive -R switch to be applied to the entire set of values for the svn:ignore property. Whereas what is needed is to be able to apply the recursive switch to the VALUE(e.g. *.o), not the KEY (e.g. svn:ignore). Is there any way of achieving this? There doesn't appear to be one. Yet without it, svn:ignore is useless, or at least too cumbersome to be used well.
