Opposite of svn:ignore

["Richard S. Hall" <he...@ungoverned.org>]

I have a directory in my project structure that is used mostly for 
externally developed components in separate sub-directories, none of 
which are versioned by me, except for one "example" component. So 
essentially, I want to ignore everything but my one example component 
directory.

Obviously, one way to achieve this is to add an svn:ignore property to 
the directory that contains all other component directories except my 
one example component directory. This would mean that I would have to 
edit the svn:ignore property each time I get a new component from 
someone else. This is workable, but not great.

Is there some approach for saying "ignore everything but foo" ?

Thanks in advance.

No, but set svn:ignore to '*'.  This will ignore everything, except 
anything that's already under version control.

Also, since svn:ignore is not recursive, anything in your example folder 
will be correctly flagged as unversionned, missing, etc.

Bye !
