I would like TortoiseSVN (1.5.3) to ignore certain folders, their contents and certain other files wherever they might appear in my directory hierarchy but I cannot get the global ignore string right.
Whatever I do, it either adds to much or ignores too much
What is the correct 'Global ignore pattern' to ignore....
Folders : bin obj release compile
Files : *.bak *.user *.suo
Update: To help clarify... yes I am using this on windows.
This is one I use for .NET. Note that I use VB6 as well as other packages so there are extra entries. Also it is case sensitive.
*.chm *.dat *.dll *.ini *.err *.exe *.DLL *.INI *.ERR *.EXE *.backup *.zip *.ZIP *.vbw *.scc *.vbg *.log *.exp *.lib .vrs.SCC *.PRF *.prf *.NIP *.NOP *.nip *.nop *.out *.bjob *.job *.prt *.tmp *.txt .EX .ex *.MDP *.bak *.BAK *.CFG *.cfg *.TXT *.vrs *.VRS *.scc *.SCC *.vsc *.VSC *.mdb *.MDB *.cur *.oca *.setup *.png *.suo *.user Debug Release bin *.pdb *.trx TestResults *.WS~ *.ocx
These three proved critical in greatly reducing the number of files wildcards I had to track down.
Debug Release bin
If you're using Windows don't you need to use an ignore pattern like this:
*/bin */obj
for directories? And maybe even:
*/bin/* */obj/*
I must admit I only realised this after I had committed the wrong things, so I haven't tried this out 'live'. Notice the use of the forward slashes in the directory pattern.
