]And why did you never come here and told us about TSVN "hanging"?

OK, we will try to track these cases and provide you with the scenarios and
error messages.
What I know for sure is that it's usually related to renaming things (even
if we do it through TSVN's rename)...

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

Sorry, it is svn: not SVN:...

]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.
The 'test result' directory has svn:ignore set on it.

Let me get back to you on that :-) Sorry, but I lost the file with the
scenario... I will give accurate details next time this happens.

]After you do that update, is the test folder still empty?
Yes, the test folder has the correct (empty) state

]
]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.
OK
Thanks, Amir
