Re: svn:ignore property ignored while adding files

Well, I'm only a release manager and not a developer but I'm -1 on
having add check svn:ignore.

If I type 'svn add baz' then I want baz added regardless of whether or
not its being "ignored". Ignores shouldn't override explicitly added
files.

Now, as for the globbing issue, this is often handled by the shell. So
if there are files foo.xyz and bar.xyz in a directory then 'svn add
*.xyz' will be expanded to 'svn add bar.xyz foo.xyz' by your
shell. Subversion will see two explicitly named files and it should add
both regardless of the current ignore property.

I know what I'm doing. The commands I'm running shouldn't second guess
me.
