How to ignore an entire directory tree
(sorry, I know this has been asked in the past, but I've not seen a definitive answer)
I have a project structure that includes a '/build' directory. That directory contains files and sub-directories which have names that change over time. I do not want any of the /build directory's contents in the repository.
Is there any form of the svn:ignore property that could be set on either the directory containing /build or on the /build directory itself so that, once and for all, the entire contents of /build are ignored?
Thanks in advance,
--ee

Or, if you would like the empty build directory in the repository,
but not its contents, set "svn:ignore" of the build directory to "*".

On /build's parent directory
svn propset svn:ignore build .
Be sure to svn rm build at some point as well - otherwise it will not
be ignored.
