Re: Issue #2243 still exists with svn 1.6.17

This leaves me with a bit of a conundrum. Our IDE would normally automatically call "svn add" when you add a new file to the solution. It is possible that this file could be in the svn ignore list. The result is that by attempting to make the developers life easy we will instead always add files which should be ignored. Is there any API for me to check if a file would normally be ignored so i can filter those paths out before calling svn_add to avoid this issue?

My only other alternative would be to call something like svn add . --force and then see what files have been added and revert all of them except for the one I actually wanted. Or is there another way to achieve what I want?

Essentially we invoke 'svn_client_add3' and pass false for no_ignore but files in the ignore list are still added to the repository. Invoking "svn add thatfile" from the commandline results in the file being added too.
