| How to make SVN ignore everything in the "target" directory? [message #521997] |

Whenever I do a project checkin, it always flags all the files in the "target" directory tree, even though any files in that directory tree should be ignored. So, I tried adding "target" to the "svn:ignore" property in the project properties. I then reverted all the files in that tree that Subversive said I had checked out, then I did a project clean, and then I brought up the "commit" dialog to see what files Subversive thought I had checked out now. It still had all the files in the "target" tree checked out.
Is the "svn:ignore" property only used at the base file name level? How do I get it to ignore everything in a directory tree?

Well, I haven't worked with SVN instensively, but I can tell you my
experience with CVS.
When you "ignore" a resource, using the default settings only *that*
resource is ignored, that is just the selected "config" subdirectory you
right-clicked on will be ignored, not all files named "config".
The fact that on your "target" directory there is not the "ignore"
option may mean that "target" is already in the repository. So, you
first have to remove it from the repository, then, when it is marked
with "?" (which means: not yet in the repository), you can specify to
ignore it, so that Eclipse won't show it as an outgoing change every
time you do a synchronize operation and won't let you commit it to the
repository.
HTH.
Mauro.

Hi
Expecting SVN to be like CVS is very intuitive and very misleading. It
isn't at all.
Greyed out svn:ignore is one of the many SVN nightmares. Probably caused
by attempting to ignore something that already exists. You probably need
to use TortoiseSVN which at least shows where you are and
maybe helps you a little bit. Expect to have a very learning experience.
