Is it possible to set a subversion property before the initial import has taken place?
I'm getting ready to import a web CMS into a new repository. It has the directory sites/default/files, whose files are user-generated, and I don't want them in the repository. So I'm trying to set up the property beforehand, but it looks like I can't, because obivously, it's not a repository.
$sites/default/files> svn propset svn:ignore '*' .
svn: '.' is not a working copy
How do I do the import with it ignoring certain folders?
Simply not possible. Import the folder tree without the files folder.
