How to set svn:ignore with multiple values?

Question

Let\'s say I want to set the svn:ignore property for directory dir1 with multiple values, file1, file2, and file3

Answer 1

Use:

cat > ignorelist << END
file1
file2
file3
END

svn propset svn:ignore -F ignorelist dir1

Or without an external file, and assuming you're on Linux or a system with /dev/fd:

svn propset svn:ignore -F /dev/fd/0 dir1 << END
file1
file2
file3
END
