Cannot ignore files in Subversion with an external `.svnignore` file
问题 I need to exclude some files from Subversion, using a .svnignore file: > more .svnignore *.obj *.abc *.aaa > touch f1.cpp > touch f2.abc > svn add --force ./ A f1.cpp A f2.abc Why is f2.abc added to the repository, even if its extension should not allow that? 回答1: After modifying .svnignore , I had to re-run: svn propset svn:ignore -F .svnignore . 回答2: In order to remove possible misinterpretations of Pietro's self-answer It's obvious, that in SVN it's not enough to put file .svnignore or
