I have an existing application that I checked out from SVN. Say it was something like the following:
MyApp
-- MyFolderA
There is already a svn:ignore property on the application. It currently ignores:
- .project
- .settings
- .classpath
I added a new folder to the project and committed the folder to SVN. So now I have:
MyApp
-- MyFolderA
-- MyFolderB
Now when I try to commit my code, there are new files (e.g. MyFolderB/.project) in the list of files to commit.
I need to update the svn:ignore property. I went to Team > Show Properties on the project. I double clicked on the snv:ignore property and added MyFolderB\.project
and clicked OK. However, when I go to commit, the file still appears as one of the files being committed.
I've tried updating the project, refreshing it, etc. As well as using forward and back slashes, different paths, etc. But the file is still there in the commit files. It has not been added to the repository or anything. Does anyone know how to actually get the file to be ignored on commits? Do I need to push the svn:ignore update to the repository somehow or something?
Probably you are setting the
svn:ignore
property not on the right directory.From SVN Book:
So try to set
svn:ignore
directly on theMyFolderB
:MyFolderB
Team
->Show Properties
svn:ignore
property or edit it if it already exist.project
