RE: Issue #2243 still exists with svn 1.6.17

'svn status' and/or the api equivalent svn_client_statusX() also process the
ignore status to provide the status if you have an unversioned or ignored
item.

The SharpSvn users list should have more details on these cases. (Googling
for SharpSvn will also provide answers on StackOverflow). More than a few
users asked similar and related questions there over the years.

SharpSvn is a thin layer over the client api, so most questions equally
apply to direct users of the libsvn_client api.

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?

The 'no_ignore' flag is only used for recursive targets.

Explicitly passed targets (such as via 'svn add *') are always processed.

If you would like to use the ignore feature you should call 'svn add --force
.', or the api equivalent of that. This adds the directory and everything
below that ignoring the case that with proper ignore handling. The --force
allows calling it on an already versioned directory.

Hey,

We use libsvn in our project and have hit an issue [0] which appears to be a
recurrence of libsvn bug #2243 [1]. 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.
