What is the basic setup on SVN to work on a Rails app?

Question

Lets say, i setup my svn host, like: http://www.xxx.com/svn

Then I create my project at a folder like: /home/me/workspace/my_app

I want to Setup my svn client and ignore files like tmp/* log/* db/schema.rb and such, so what are the commands on console for that? If possible can you write what the full sequence of commands to set this up?

obs: I have found no GUI that suit my needs on Ubuntu kdesvn / rapidsvn :(

Using TortoiseSVN, you could simply use the ignore menu item, but I guess you're not using a GUI.

You can ignore single files by executing this in the containing directory:

svn propset svn:ignore filename .

Replace filename by the filename you want to ignore. This can also be a wildcard expression like *.suo. It can also be a directory like tmp.
