Hi Ryan,
thanks for the hint. In the end I thought of this kind of
solution but couldn't find the right turn.
But... Why is it so complicated ? Why don't they just implemented
this feature? I think this is what almost everybody wants to do,
like
$ svn import -exclude "*.obj *.o" .
It would makes thinks easier, I'd say.
thanks again & greets
Ingo
