RE: set svn:ignore on all unversioned files

Hi Eric
 
I believe you may be able to do the following

svn propset svn:ignore *.obj

Thanks

Subject: set svn:ignore on all unversioned files

Hello,

How do I tell subversion to ignore all unversioned files in the working
copy?

I import a source code tree. Then I check out the new code and run a
build. Then I run 'svn status' and it shows hundreds of ? files. I
haven't changed any versioned files, all of these unversioned files are
incidental files from the build and should be ignored. The only way I
know to ignore them is to do...

svn propedit svn:ignore [directory]

... for every directory in the tree, each time adding in the list of
unversioned files in that directory.

What I want to do is to cd to the root of the source tree and issue some
command that tells svn to update the repository such that every
unversioned file in the working copy is ignored, how do I do that?

Thanks,
Eric
