equivalent of cvsignore?

equivalent of cvsignore?

[Robert Millan]

Every time I run "svn st" on an unclean dir, I see something like:

?      10_windows
?      unicode.pff
?      40_custom
?      ascii.pff
?      grub-pe2elf

and the list keeps growing.  Apparently, the CVS migration converted existing
.cvsignore to something equivalent in SVN, and this doesn't affect new files.

Any idea what to do about them?

There's still a .cvsignore in the SVN maybe this should just be renamed
to .svnignore ?
This makes at least more sense then .cvs

You need to do this via the svn property svn:ignore. See

Thanks, this did the trick.

For the record, when adding new files the magic is:

  svn propedit svn:ignore .

then commit as usual (. will be registered as a modified file).
