Hi All We read folks posted online and it appears to show conflicting statements on how to svn ignore multiple directories and files using svn propedit.
Suppose we have the following working copy directory structure. /projectRoot (this working copy directory contains subdirectories build and src) /projectRoot/build.xml /projectRoot/README.txt /projectRoot/classes (this directory contains class files) /projectRoot/build/artifacts/zips (this directory contains zip files) /projectRoot/build/artifacts/jars (this directory contains jar files) /projectRoot/src/com/a/b/c (this directory contains java files) Q1: Suppose we're at projectRoot directory. a) How do we put line by line in svn-ignore-list.txt to ignore the following files and directories ? We are confused on when to propset svn:ignore if we like to ignore multiple directories and files in different locations. b) Do we have to perform multiple propset commands in specific directories to ignore multiple directories and files (since we read somewhere that we can only ignore child directories and files) ? ie if we're at projectRoot directory, to ignore README.txt, classes directory and build/artifacts/zips and jars directories we have to svn -propset svn:ignore -F /path/to/svn-ignore-list.txt . (and then continuing) cd /projectRoot/classes svn -propset svn:ignore -F /path/to/svn-ignore-list.txt . (and then continuing) cd /projectRoot/build/artifacts/zips svn -propset svn:ignore -F /path/to/svn-ignore-list.txt . (and then continuing) cd /projectRoot/build/artifacts/jars svn -propset svn:ignore -F /path/to/svn-ignore-list.txt . (and then continuing) c) Is there a single command that would take care of all of that above, if only we set the list in svn-ignore-list.txt right ? ie can we have in svn-ignore-list.txt classes/*.class README.txt build/artifacts/jars/*.jars build/artifacts/zips/*.zips and then in a single command, in projectRoot directory of working copy svn -propset svn:ignore -F /path/to/svn-ignore-list.txt . Thanks in advance for clarification Sincerely
