Re: ignoring directories in WC

What we use is:

cd to the target directory's parent, then

svn update -r 0 <target_directory>
svn update -N

I'm not entirely sure of the of the need for the second line.

If there are files in the target directory that are not under version
control, you may also need an "rm -rf".

This sequence generally makes the target directory not come back when a
vanilla svn update is subsequently done from one of its ancestors.
