Hi,

I have a requirement to ignore e.g. all bin and obj directories, and very 
importantly all their child directories recursively. I want to easily set 
this in the client globally, and have no wish to set properties on the 
subversion repository. Currently this seems to be not possible.

If I just set bin as the pattern, it will ignore just the bin directory 
itself, and not the files in it.

If I set bin/* as pattern, it will also ignore the files in it, but not all 
the files in its subdirectories.

In Visual Studio .NET projects, the bin folder structure is often something 
like this:

bin\Debug\net8.0

And no, I don't want to add this whole thing to the pattern, there will be 
debug/release, bunch of .net version, it's a whole directory tree. I just 
want to tell TortoiseSvn to ignore the bin dir and everything in it.

I could sponsor development of this improvement to TortoiseSVN, or if you 
point me to the code, I can implement it myself.

Best regards,

Wout


Hi,

The global ignore is a Subversion feature, see for 
example 
https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html. 
I think any change should be done upstream (for example as a patch sent to 
[email protected]).

That said: Why don't you want to use the svn:ignore property? It seems like 
more efficient - it would automatically be applied to ALL 
developers/machines at once. If you want to avoid the hassle of setting it 
for every new project, you can probably look at the auto-props 
configuration setting to have Subversion set it automatically for you. 
Another option is to have a template project that you can import for every 
new repository / project you create - this is what we do at $dayjob.

Cheers,
Daniel
