svn:do-not-export property

[Steven Luscher <ra...@stevenluscherdesign.com>]

This has been briefly discussed before, but I would like to bring it  
up again – taking a slightly different angle.

It would be really useful to me to have access to an "svn:do-not- 
export" property that could be set on certain files I wanted to store  
in the repository, but exclude when exporting any given revision.

Today, for instance, I would be using this property to make sure that  
all of my Flash (.fla) files get included in the repository but get  
excluded when I do an "svn export" to the webroot.

For now I'll just structure my repositories differently, putting web  
and development files into separate folders. In the future though, I  
hope that SVN will include an "svn:do-not-export" property so that it  
might conform to the way I work, instead of the other way around.

Awesome!

You might want to check out the description of the new
'incomplete-directories' feature that (hopefully) is coming in 1.5. You
can find a description here:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/incomplete-directories/README.branch

Basically it's about excluding directories (not files!) from being
checked out, so they will not show up in later updates. The same goes
for exports.

Given this development going on now I doubt anyone will be interested in
implementing your "svn:do-not-export" property idea.

regards,

Lieven.
