Hah, indeed this worked.

I'm always carefully with commits that's why I tested the option -N
(--non-recursive) first with diff and it behaves differently compared with ci:

svn status wd
 M wd
A wd/file1

svn diff -N wd

Property changes on: wd
___________________________________________________________________
Name: svn:ignore
   - temporary files

   + temporry files

Index: wd/file1
===================================================================
--- wd/file1 (revision 0)
+++ wd/file1 (revision 0)
@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+test2

So it matches file1 as well, which I tried to avoid.

Maybe I should use the option --dry-run more often??!

But as you wrote works ci without committing file1:

svn ci -m "log" -N wd
Sending wd

Committed revision 4.

Thanks,
Jens
