One of the problems with the Subversion/Tortoise is the assumption that
everyone has a UNIX background. It would help a tremendous amount to offer
documentation for other platforms.
The manual states...
Global ignore patterns are used to prevent unversioned files from showing up
e.g. in the commit dialog. Files matching the patterns are also ignored by
an import. Ignore files or directories by typing in the names or extensions.
Patterns are separated by spaces e.g. */bin */obj *.bak *.~?? *.jar
*.[Tt]mp. The first two entries refer to directories, the other four to
files.
Since I do not have a UNIX background, I had to spend about 2 hours digging
through forums for a simple answer. The help file was useless. This filter
is for a Visual Studio 2005 project...
*\bin *\obj *\bin\* *\obj\* *.vssscc *.scc *.suo *.vspscc *\Properties
*\Properties\* *.datasource app.config *.user
The filters will vary by the type of project. I am doing an evaluation of
SourceSafe 2005 and Subversion. Thats why I have the vs filters. With
this filter, the repository contents matched what SourceSafe loads into its
own repository.
From what I can tell, a file filter drills down into subfolders but a folder
filter by itself, as implied by the help file, does not work at all. if you
want to also ignore the folder, use the *\folder\* syntax. Again, I don't
know UNIX so maybe all you need is *\folder\* to ignore the folder and the
files in that folder.
A knowledgebase addressing common Subversion issues would be another great
help.
