I'm working in Visual Studios 2010 and Ankhsvn.
I need to exclude a few of my files from being Committed (which I did through ignore-on-commit in the Change log.)
How do I exclude the files from being changed when I update?
I've tried adding the svn:ignore property, but I keep getting errors thrown. Maybe I'm using it wrong... It shouldn't be this hard to completely exclude files.
svn:ignore
is a property on a directory that you set to specify that the given resources shouldn't be in version control - which doesn't sound like what you want. If the file is already under version control, SVN will always try to process it. The effect you're after (restrictingsvn
operations to a given subset of files) can be achieved using the--changelist
option. You can usesvn changelist
to create lists of files, then suboptions to add and remove files from that list, then you can pass that changelist tosvn up
to limit which files get processed.
