Thanks Mark. Could you be a little more specific? Like look at what and where. I’ve been looking at all kinds of stuff and reading many, many posts but nothing is clear.
I do not have any specific suggestion, just that if you see a ? then that means the file should be ignorable if the settings are right.
For example, what is a comment in the config file. Many places it talks about comments but nowhere does it explain what a comment is. I see lines starting with # and lines starting with ###. Are all of those comments or just the ###? It is clear that the lines with ### are comments but is subversion reading the lines with # or are they comments also?
Any line that starts with # is a comment.
On Windows, open the Run dialog and enter %APPDATA%\Subversion and press ENTER. Then edit the file named "config" with a text editor. The default value for this option is:
[miscellany]
### Set global-ignores to a set of whitespace-delimited globs
### which Subversion will ignore in its 'status' output, and
### while importing or adding files and directories.
global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store
Make sure your text editor does not change the filename or save it with a file extension added. If you are using TortoiseSVN, I recall their Settings dialog also provides access to this.
