RE: Re: Initial Layout Questions

I got this back from the TortoiseSVN list.

I am new to this list, is it appropriate to ask for functionality here or should this go to the dev list?

Specifically:

"the svn_client_import() command only takes one folder as an argument and
then imports _everything_ inside that folder. So it's not possible to
exclude something from being imported without deleting it first."

It would be nice to be able to exclude files upon import.

Thanks!

To prevent TortoiseSVN from showing up those unversioned files in the
commit dialog you can add those to the ignored pattern list (settings
dialog) or set the svn:ignore property.

Complain about this to the subversion mailing list: the
svn_client_import() command only takes one folder as an argument and
then imports _everything_ inside that folder. So it's not possible to
exclude something from being imported without deleting it first.
