importing a project into a svn repository question

Question

im using netbeans for svn.

i open a project in netbeans and then i import it to a svn repo.

it seems that although im only importing the project folder, svn creates .svn folders in all folders within this project folder.

why is that? i thought that i was only creating .svn folders to checked out projects, not imported ones?

now this folder acts very weird, when i open this folder as a project in netbeans, netbeans treats it like a svn folder some way.

is this normal? cause i want this one to not be under SVN.

Answer 1

It sounds like importing the project also turned it into a working copy.

Answer 2

You can provide svn exclusions for **/.svn/ in Java build path for that project. Netbeans will ignore these folders.
