SVN ignore like .gitignore

Question

In Git, if I have a project with lots of projects inside, let\'s suppose, a lot of Java projects, I can just create a .gitignore file in the root and it will \"be r

Answer 1

This is what I am doing to emulate .svnignore.

Create a wrapper for svn called ~/bin/svn

#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
commit|status|apply-ignore)
    if test -f .svnignore ; then
        echo "Apply .svnignore: $(/usr/bin/svn propset svn:ignore -F .svnignore .)"
    fi
    ;;
esac
case "$1" in
apply-ignore) ;;
*) exec /usr/bin/svn "$@" ;;
esac

Then add ~/bin to your path before /usr/bin

PATH=~/bin:$PATH ; export PATH

It applies .svnignore on commit and status commands, and can also manually apply using svn apply-ignore.
