Ignoring folders in TortoiseSVN...?

Using SVN you can right click a folder "TEST" and add it to the ignore list. Does that make SVN inore all folders named "TEST" in the project?

I have a project with many different directories and within a开发者_运维问答lmost all these seperate directories is a folder named "TEST", is there a way to set the svn:ignore to make SVN ignore every folder named "TEST" in the whole project?

It will not—ignoring a folder only ignores it in that folder (and not recursively).

To do it recursively (i.e., for all folders in the project), right click the top-level folder and choose Properties, then click New..., and choose svn:ignore. Put

TEST

into the text box, and check "Apply property recursively." This will apply it to every folder currently in the project, but you will still have to manually add it to any new folders.

Warning: This will overwrite (i.e., remove) any other ignores you may have set in the folder structure. (thanks to Pekka for this)

If you're using TortoiseSVN, another option is to add entries to the Global ignore pattern in the general settings. This will only affect your PC; it's not persisted as a property in the repository.

Right-click the TortoiseSVN icon in your toolbar and choose Settings. In the General area there's a section for Global ignore pattern. You can add entries separated by spaces, like this: bin lib obj *.o
