Propset svn:ignore for symlinks
Hi,
I want to use propset to have svn ignore all symlinks. This must be
something people do all the time - can anyone give me the syntax?
Specifically, I want to have svn ignore all symlinks within a directory
(including within sub-directories).
TIA,
Richard Hoberman

Ben,
Thanks for this. I wasn't aware of symlink support. Upgrading now.

I've never heard of anyone ever trying to do this. And I don't think
there's any way to do it, because svn can only ignore filename patterns,
and there's nothing about a filename that indicates it's a symlink...
ergo, no symlink "pattern" you can tell svn to ignore.
Are you aware that svn 1.1 versions symlinks?
