Is there a way to include a file in Source Control if it's within an "excluded" pattern? (include myapp.exe if you've excluded all *.exe) in Subversion?

Question

I'm using the latest TortoiseSVN and I've got *.exe in the global exclusion. But I now find that there are a couple of .exe files that I would like to check in.

Any way to do that?

Answer 1

Just add it manually: right-click the file and choose TortoiseSVN > Add. Ignoring files doesn't mean you can't version them, you're just forced to be explicit about those you DO want to version.
