problems with propset svn:ignore

[Randy Paries <rt...@gmail.com>]

i though i understood but does not seem to be working as i expected

my current dir structure is
/
/inc
/userdirs/a/aa
/userdirs/b/ba
/userdirs/a hole bunch of recursive dirs
/bunchofotherdirs

so when i do a svn up i want to ignore or not update
userdirs and below
inc/settings.php

i have created a file in / called svnIgnoreFiles.me
i then did

[root@moosejaw html]# svn propset svn:ignore -F svnIgnoreFiles.me .
property 'svn:ignore' set on '.'

i delete userdirs/*

but when i do a svn up it still brings down from svn all the userdirs

what part am i missing??
thanks
Randy

Don't keep settings.php in the repository. See:

svn:ignore is for ignoring unversioned files that you do not want to commit to a repository.

If the files are already committed to the repository, then svn:ignore is not applicable.
