Hey all  - 
Is there some way to 'hide' a subtree in subversion from trac?  We'd
like to have a 'scratchpad' area for people to commit works in progress
that aren't exactly ready for general use.

--------------------------

You can use authz permissions files with Trac. They have the same format
and purpose as the authz files used by Subversion.

I am assuming that you aren't trying to say that people shouldn't have
permissions to see the scratchpad area through SVN; just that they don't
see it through Trac. Normally, you give SVN and Trac the same file to
enforce permissions, but you don't have to and in your case you don't
want to. You could create an authz file that "denied" access to
scratchpad for all users and give that to Trac, and then the existence
of that directory will disappear from the browser and timeline.

However, if this is your intention, you may want to reconsider. Trac is
a collaboration tool between developers. Maybe they want to watch the
timeline to see what other people are working on so that they can
contribute. Maybe the want to browse the scratchpad through a web
interface instead of checking out the whole folder. If you're saying
that it should be blocked so that no one can collaborate on that folder,
no one wants to see the folder, and it contains code that's not ready,
then what is the purpose of having it in version control?
