output of SVN status, question mark lines
hi all,
Just a minor question. When I do svn status I get output such as this:
? ad
? bd
? a0
? a1
? b0
? b1
which are temporary files and not under version control. Using svn propedit svn:ignore . I made an exclusion list:
a0 a1 ad b0 b1 bd
yet it doesn't seem to have any effect. For some reason .o files don't seem to be listed but other files are. Maybe someone has put .o in a global exclusion list when setting up svn, I'm not sure. How can I locally suppress specific files in a directory?
Please would you be so kind as to cc: me at nicholas_downing@yahoo.com as I haven't subscribed, I don't have a good system for handling large volumes of email at the moment and it didn't seem worth setting it up for such a minor question.
Many thanks,
cheers, Nick

For the svn:ignore property, you must put one match (e.g. one
filename) per line, e.g.:
a0
a1
ad
b0
b1
bd
This is different from the global-ignores section of the config file,
where all matches are listed on a single line.
See the Book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/
svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html
"The Subversion runtime configuration system provides an option,
global-ignores, whose value is a whitespace-delimited collection of
file patterns."
"When found on a versioned directory, the svn:ignore property is
expected to contain a list of newline-delimited file patterns that
Subversion should use to determine ignorable objects in that same
directory."

Thanks for the response Ryan, here is some more info captured from my terminal session. Note that since the other day I've created mushrooms.header which I've forgotten to svn add, so I want that to appear as a ? line in the output. The others I don't. Also I had been running a 2005 build of svn that is installed systemwide, and I upgraded to the latest which I installed locally in order to try and fix this problem, but it didn't help.

It should have the effect you want. Could you show us exactly what you typed,
and perhaps exactly what "svn proplist -v ." says now?

Maybe someone has put .o in a global exclusion list when setting up svn, I'm
not sure. How can I locally suppress specific files in a directory?
Yes, .o files are globally ignored by default. See the global-ignores section
of your Subversion config file (e.g. on Linux in ~/.subversion/config).

Right, that's what the question mark means. (Well, it doesn't mean
temporary, but it does mean not-under-version-control.)

If you did it exactly that way, I can imagine it didn't: each line
should hold a separate file (pattern) like this:
a?
b0
b1
bd

Exactly. See your Subversion configuration files and search for
"global ignores". There are more items in the list by default, but it
can be customized.

Using the svn:ignore property on the containing directory: you were on
the right track!
HTH,
Erik.
