And why did you never come here and told us about TSVN "hanging"?
Can you please tell us exactly what you try to do, what
commands/menu-entries you clicked on and what buttons you pressed for
TSVN to hand?

I propably would if I were interested in that.

Just to be sure: you set the "svn:ignore" property, not the "SVN:ignore"
property to "*"?

It's not "impossible" - you still can add those files. Ignored files
just won't show up in the commit dialog. Also, the "svn:ignore" property
only works on a folder, subfolders need their own svn:ignore property.

And what error is that?

After you do that update, is the test folder still empty?

Check the "svn:ignore" properties. Then make sure that no user
accidentally adds the files in the test folder. I'm not sure if Ankh and
RapidSVN really use the svn:ignore property or if they just
automatically add all unversioned files. Just check if they do.
