I would like TortoiseSVN (1.5.3) to ignore certain folders, their contents and certain other files wherever they might appear in my directory hierarchy but I cannot get the global ignore string right.
Whatever I do, it either adds to much or ignores too much
What is the correct 'Global ignore pattern' to ignore....
Folders : bin obj release compile Files : *.bak *.user *.suo
Update: To help clarify... yes I am using this on windows.
Use the following command to create a list not under version control files. Then edit the file to leave just the files you want actually to ignore. Then use this one to ignore the files listed in the file: svn propset svn:ignore -F ignoring.
To set your global ignore pattern (with TortoiseSVN) right click Windows Explorer –> TortoiseSVN –> Settings. Once you click on settings enter your global ignore pattern. I'm blocking everything in my bin folder, obj folder, anything that may have been named *.
Currently I have the following in my Global Ignore Pattern:
bin obj CVS .cvsignore *.user *.suo Debug Release *.pdb test.* Thumbs.db
Works really well to ignore several hidden or temp files/folders....
So for your specific requirements:
bin obj release compile
*.bak *.user *.suo
I would use:
bin obj release compile *.bak *.user *.suo
