I don't remember svn:ignore *ever* working the way you describe. Can you tell us which version of Subversion you were using? Are you absolutely sure it wasn't modified to behave as you describe? > Apparently this doesn't work anymore and svn commit happily still > uses the ignored file and commits it... causing problems. > > Is there a specific reason this behaviour changed? Like I said, it did not change. Files that are already version-controlled cannot be ignored. This was part of the original svn:ignore design spec, and the behaviour is actually based on .cvsignore. > Is there a workaround that we can use? Sure, don't commit the files that you don't want in the repository. Instead, create a template that each user can rename to an (ignored) local name. > Shall I submit a bugreport for this? It's not a bug. -- Brane
