Hi Johan, I suspect that "svn:recursive-ignore" will find disfavor for the same reason my original "svn:inheritable-ignores" did: Nobody embraced the idea of explicitly declaring the property as inheritable (or recursive) as part of its name. Just replace "inheritable" with "recursive" in this thread and you'll see what I mean: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-11/0005.shtml -- Paul T.
