Questions on system-wide config file
Once again, I apologize if the following questions have obviously
visible answers--I'm trying to search the Subversion book in
reasonable detail before posting questions, but it's a big (though
very well-written!) book, so I do miss things.
I'm setting up a server which will be used by myself and a few friends.
Our first project will by a Python project, and so I'd like to ensure
that
*.pyc (byte-compiled) files are never placed under version management--
as they are created automatically by Python.
The svn ignore patterns let me do this; however, I'd like to do it in
such a manner that people using my server from another system don't
need to set anything. My understanding is that if I set a global ignore
pattern in /etc/subversion/config, this will only affect clients on my
machine. Is there any way to have this recognized by _all_ clients?
(I guess this would really have to be handled by the server). Or,
am I going to need to mail out copies of the config file to my users?
Thanks,
Ken McDonald

Search for svn:ignore as a property:
$ svn propset --help
propset (pset, ps): Set PROPNAME to PROPVAL on files, dirs, or revisions.
usage: 1. propset PROPNAME [PROPVAL | -F VALFILE] PATH...
2. propset PROPNAME --revprop -r REV [PROPVAL | -F VALFILE] [URL]
1. Creates a versioned, local propchange in working copy.
2. Creates an unversioned, remote propchange on repos revision.
Note: svn recognizes the following special versioned properties
but will store any arbitrary properties set:
svn:ignore - A newline separated list of file patterns to ignore.

Read the section on properties in the book:

Unfortunately, no. It's an extremely requested feature, at the moment.
It will happen eventually. But right now, we have no 'server side'
config that broadcasts to clients.
