从父文件夹忽略SVN中的文件

Question

Is it possible to ignore file that is in the folder nested inside the project tree? When I'm adding such entry using "svn propedit svn:ignore ." in my root folder:

src/folder1/folder2/folder3/File1.java

SVN still displays file as unversioned(with "?" mark) and doesn't ignore it.

Answer 1

The svn:ignore property applies only to the contents of the folder it is set to, and not to any of its subfolders, see: Version Control with Subversion, Chapter "Ignoring Unversioned Items"

In order to ignore File1.java, set svn:ignore on folder3 rather than on the root folder.
