Can you have the build process write its files to a different directory (a
"build" directory) that you could svn:ignore everything in?
Sadly, no, not without a major rewrite of the build process. This is deep
legacy stuff, using make, with the typical pattern of mixing source and object
in the same directory. Not the way I would have designed it but ...
Then you may have to set an svn:ignore for each file you want to ignore.
It seems to me that
svn --recursive propset svn:ignore xyz
is basically just syntactic sugar for manually going through issuing
svn propset svn:ignore xyz
on every node of the directory structure, It is syntactic sugar in the
sense that the end product in either case would be the same. There is
no "recursive" data attribute in a project's svn:ignore tree.
Which leads me to think that a one-time shell script or python script or
whatever might be written to walk the directory tree, look for all the
executable files and manually add them to that directory's svn:ignore list.
