How do you add a folder that starts with a dot (.name) to SVN's global-ignores list?

Question

How do you a dd a folder that starts with a dot (.name) to SVN's global-ignores list?

I want that folder, all its subfolders and files to be excluded, yet adding .name only seems to exclude the folder itself.

I'm using TortoiseSVN.

Answer 1

Per TortoiseSVN docs :

add the file to the svn:global-ignores list using TortoiseSVN → Add to ignore list (recursively) This will affect the directory on which you set the svn:global-ignores property and all subfolders as well.

Answer 2

In Tortoise SVN with GUI, you can right click on a svn folder, clock tortoise settings, and then in general you can enter in the global ignore pattern.

Use regular expression square brackets to start a folder with a "." (dot)
