You want to keep the log directory, because rails needs it to run. What you want to do is ignore any files in the log directory.
Your project must already be tracked by svn in order to ignore files. Assuming it is, first, remove any files in the log directory and commit. $ svn rm log/* $ svn ci -m "removing log files" Second, ignore any files in the log directory and commit. $ svn propset svn:ignore "*" log/ $ svn ci -m "ignoring log files" If you ever need to edit an svn property with multiple entries, look up svn:propedit and the SVN_EDITOR environment variable, which is just one means of telling svn what text editor to invoke when you run svn:propedit (and other commands). Now, if your project is not yet tracked by svn, then remove any files in the log directory, import the project, set svn:ignore on the log directory as we did earlier and commit. By the way, the reason that I like to include the empty log directory in svn is so that other developers can just checkout the code and get to work; there's no little step of remembering to create the log dir. I used to do the same for the tmp dir as I described for the log dir, but Rails 2.1 creates the tmp dir if doesn't already exist.
