svn:ignore

[gowri k <go...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
This is regarding svn:ignore property. Im  very new to the svn tool. I want
to know if there is a way to set ignore property to load from a property
file in every subdirectory.
I have a project which has lot of sub directories and many different files
to be ignored. Is it possible that I have a file say .svnignore.property
file that lists all the files
to be ignored in that directory.Its very difficult to go to every
subdirectory and manually to load? Im looking for a script that
automatically loads the file list from properties file and set the
svn:ignore property
in every subdirectory. Is it possible through tortoise or subclipse?

Thanks
Gowri

There is of course:

svn propset svn:ignore -F file dir

where "file" is a file containing the value to which you want to set  
the svn:ignore property (so, each line of the file would be a pattern  
you want to ignore), and "dir" is the directory on which you want the  
property set. However, these ignores can only apply directly to  
"dir", not to subdirectories of "dir". If you already have a huge  
file made with ignore rules spanning an entire tree of directories,  
you'll have to write a script to separate these into one file per  
directory, and call "svn propset" on each directory, as above.

You would have to ask on the TortoiseSVN or subclipse lists whether  
their software has such a feature built-in, but I would doubt it.
