Re: exclude certain files and directories when importing for the first time

Hello,

Otherwise, you could also think the other way around. ie: "put what you
need" instead of "ignore what you don't need" first.

For example

svn mkdir %url2repo%projectX
svn checkout %url2repo%projectX .
add whatever file/folder you need (very easy with TortoiseSVN to cherry
pick, by selecting them).
then commit.

You can then set the svn:ignore property for the future.
