Flex & SVN - what to ignore?

Question

I want to version control my Flex application with SVN. What should I include and what should I ignore?

Answer 1

I'm only ignoring the .settings directory.

You should view the source of the project files (.actionScriptProperties, .flexProperties, .project) and decide whether you or your team need their settings on a clean checkout or not.

If you put these files under version control, then you should avoid workstation specific directories in your settings (Flex Server Settings) and substitute them with path variables.

This for example is the content of my .flexProperties file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<flexProperties 
    enableServiceManager="false" flexServerFeatures="4" flexServerType="2" 
    serverContextRoot="/myProject" 
    serverRoot="${HTTP_DOCS}/myProject/" 
    serverRootURL="http://localhost/myProject" 
    toolCompile="true" useServerFlexSDK="false" version="1"/>

Answer 2

Agree. bin-debug and bin-release are the first ones to ignore.
