Comment (by cmpilato):
Sorry, shouldn't have put the quoted text in preformatted block. It
should have been:
To exclude certain files and directories from subversion’s version control
you can set the ’svn:ignore’ property as described in Ignoring Unversioned
Items.
That works fine but nevertheless you might run into problems if you are
using
svn add * or similiar on linux systems. This is due to the shell expansion
of wildcards. The above command is expanded to explicit files names svn
add filename and seems to have the same effect as svn add --no-ignore
filename.
Tip: Use svn add --force . instead!
