ignoring files

Hi!

I know there is something as svn:ignore, and pre-commit-hooks
(did my homework and viewed archives). But all this
seems awkward to me..

Is there something like cvsignore (and .cvsignore) in Subversion.
Pre-commit-hooks can exclude files for the whole repository,
while something like (.)svnignore could exclude files
from just a dir or from a users working copy..

That's not entirely true.  We don't support the '!' "reset" indicator
that cvsignore handles.

That's the thing!
While browsing list's archives, I've read
that svn:ignore property is only for protecting against recursive
commits.. Now I see it suits me.

Thanks!

I'm not sure to understand your problem. You are looking for something
like the .cvsignore mechanism ? Well the svn:ignore property is what you
need. If you want to exclude *.exe from version control in the
current directory you only have to do:
  svn propset svn:ignore '*.exe' .

or:
  svn propedit svn:ignore .

Everything you'd put into a .cvsignore can be put into the svn:ignore
property with the same results.
