SVn help ignoring a folder: 'Explicit target required'

Question

I am trying to get SVN to ignore a folder by typing:

svn --username myusername propset svn:ignore MyFolder/mysubFolder 

However, I am getting the following error message:

svn: Explicit target required ('MyFolder/mysubFolder' interpreted as prop value) 

Answer 1

You need to specify the directory where to apply the setting, which is most likely the current directory (.):

svn --username myusername propset svn:ignore MyFolder/mysubFolder .
