I have a large project on a live server which I would like to commit to an svn repo. I have added all files and directories to the repository using svn add.

The problem is that there is a folder-structure that I want to commit but without its content. The folder name is:

/home/myproject/media/ 

It contains various folders such as images, adverts news, home-images, etc. I would like to commit these folders but not their content. I have tried doing the following:

cd /home/myproject/media/ svn propedit svn:ignore ./homeimages/ {{The text editor comes up}} I entered * and saved 

but when I do

svn stat

the files under homeimages are still listed in the repository. How can I resolve this issue?
