The property svn:ignore can be found on the directory containing what you want to ignore. If the templates_c directory is a directory in your repository, then you want to do as follows: svn propset svn:ignore '*' smarty/templates_c If templates_c is not a directory in your repository, then do as follows: svn propset svn:ignore 'templates_c' smarty It may be less confusing to use svn propedit as follows svn propedit svn:ignore smarty (enter the desired wildcards into the editor) Here's a cool little bash script I use to set svn:ignore in directories containing LaTex files: #!/bin/bash svn propset svn:ignore "$(svn propget svn:ignore .) *.blg *.aux *.log *.pdf *.dvi *.ps *.bbl *.swp" . (note the multiline string) svn propget works even when the property hasn't been set before. --Ken -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
