I just started using SVN, and I have a cache directory that I don't need under source control. How can I ignore the whole directory/folder with SVN?
I am using Versions and TextMate on OS X and commandline.

The svn:ignore property is a good way to tell Subversion to ignore files that are likely to be present in every user's working copy of that directory, such as compiler output or—to use an example more appropriate to this book—the HTML, PDF, or PostScript files generated as the result of a conversion of some source ...
You could add bin folder to ignore list. Right click on the bin folder -> TortoiseSVN -> Unversion and add to ignore list -> bin.
svn add --force . will add all the files and directories below your current working directory that aren't added yet (and aren't ignored) to your working copy. A svn ci -m "" will then handle the commit. The only way without 'svn add' would be to use 'svn import', but this assumes a new location.
Set the svn:ignore property of the parent directory:
svn propset svn:ignore dirname . If you have multiple things to ignore, separate by newlines in the property value. In that case it's easier to edit the property value using an external editor:
svn propedit svn:ignore . If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
