problems with svn:ignore

[Craig Beck <cr...@luckybonza.com>]

I keep getting this mesage when I try to set the svn:ignore property.

svn: Explicit target required

I have a bunch of files generated at runtime that I don't need 
versioned, nor do I want to see them when I do "svn st"

I checked the docs, and "Practical Subversion" but don't seem to be 
having much luck using the following format

% svn propset svn:ignore tmp/*.log
svn: 'tmp/pswp.log' is not under version control

if I sdd it to version control and specify the file

% svn propset svn:ignore tmp/pswp.log
svn: Explicit target required ('tmp/pswp.log' interpreted as prop value)

Any help? Clarifications?

Yep.

You are confused about how svn:ignore works.

Read the appropriate section of the svnbook:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2.3.3
