svn:ignore property with multiple values?

[David Van Couvering <da...@vancouvering.com>]

I scoured Google and the SVN docs, and nothing seems to indicate, that I 
can find, how to list multiple items for the svn:ignore property.

Specifically, I want to ignore both the lib and dist directories in the 
java/demo/localcal directory, as well as src/org/*.  How do I do this?

Thanks,

David

Yep, this is correct. I had thought propset also went to your editor
when invoked on a directory, but that is not the case.

Thanks, Andrew.  For posterity, it should be 'svn pe' or 'svn propedit' 
not 'svn ps', so you can have multiple entries.

When you want to ignore a directory, put the name of the directory you
want to ignore in the svn:ignore property for the directory which
contains the one you want to ignore. Everything underneath is
automatically ignored. Presumably what you want to ignore in src/org
is json, so you should:

cd java/demo/localcal
svn ps svn:ignore .

here, put:

lib
dist

cd src/org
svn ps svn:ignore .

here, put:

json

That should do it. As an example, do 'svn pg svn:ignore .' at the
top-level of your trunk checkout to see how the classes directory is
ignored.
