Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your help. I have checked and the build directory is not
under svn control and has not been in any previous revisions either.
It is completely un-versioned...!?
Nonetheless I always get these two lines in the svn status:
? trunk/ABFR7x/build/Deployment
? trunk/ABFR7x/build/A Better Finder Rename.build
The svn:ignore is set on trunk/ABFR7x and according to my logic this
should mean that anything from trunk/ABFR7X/build should be ignored.
Or is my regular expression false?
Notice that trunk/ABFR7x/build is not in the list..
Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Frank
