svn config file: global-ignores = mydir/myfile
Hi, is there a way I can get subversion to ignore a particular file,
lets call it "myfile" ONLY if it is found inside a known directory,
lets call it "mydir"
i tried the following in my svn config
> cat ~/.subversion/config
### Section for configuring miscelleneous Subversion options.
[miscellany]
### Ignore some temp and backup files
global-ignores = *~ *% mydir/myfile
and i have this file in my working copy
>ls mydir
myfile
but svn status still tries to process it
> svn status
? mydir/myfile
i don't want to ignore all myfile files in my working copies only
those in the mydir dir
TIA!

I think you're misunderstanding. You need to set svn:ignore on the
"mydir" directory, to tell it to ignore the "myfile" file.
cd mydir
svn propset svn:ignore mydir .
svn ci

actually i did post the transcript in my original message to the list.
my original question was: "can i use the global ignore pattern in the
subversion config file to ignore a file when it is inside a specified
dir"
so i tried to use this in my config file
global-ignores = *~ *% mydir/myfile
and got this result with svn
>ls mydir
myfile
> svn status
? mydir/myfile
so including a fragment of the path with the file pattern string in
the global-ignores line doesn't seem to work, i was wondering if there
was some escape sequence i could use on the pattern eg: "mydir\/
myfile" etc but no dice..
the svn:ignore property works great but my users have to set it on
"mydir" in the above example after they've created "mydir", so its an
extra step they have to remember to do. it would be nicer if they
could specify something in the config file, but anyway..
thx again.

I don't understand. It would help a *lot* if you would post transcripts
of what's actually happening, instead of prose descriptions, though.
If your file F is in directory D, you should set the "svn:ignore"
property on D, with a value of "F".
Have you read any of the documentation about svn:ignore?

in my env i don't always want to ignore this particular file, only
when it
appears inside the dir i mentioned. i tried to include the dir as part
of
the svn:ignore property pattern but it didn't seem to work.

Well, sure -- just add the prop before creating the data.

yes i can do that, and thats what i'm currently doing. i was hoping to
find a way to set that up for my users prior to them creating this
kind of data. but thats fine, i can add the prop after the fact easily
enough.
thx!

Well, you could set the svn:ignore property on that directory...
