How to Auto Add/ Ignore Files of certain Type When They are Created in SVN version Folders

Question

I have a folder under SVN control. And Since I will be creating files on a rapid basis, I want certain file types to be added, and certain file types to be ignored automatically, right after the moment the file is created.

An example would be I want to commit a folder that contains sln, csproj, and cs type of extension to the source control, and whenever I create a new .cs file, I want that .cs files to be added to the repository immediately. And I don't want any .pdb files to get added to the reopository, so whenever a new .pdb is created, it must be auto-added to the ignore list.

Edit: I am looking for a GUI way of doing this, instead of using command line.

Any idea how to do this?

Answer 1

I don't know of a way to auto-commit files via TortoiseSVN's GUI, so I would opt for a script to do that.

However, they do give you an easy way to ignore file types via the GUI. If you open up the TortoiseSVN Settings (right click -> TortoiseSVN -> Settings) and look at the General section, you'll see a text box labeled "Global ignore pattern." It is a space-delimited list of filename patterns. To add PDB files to the ignore list, append "*.pdb" to the end of the list.
