SVN ignoring a symbolic link to a directory

Question

Hello,

I have a project that contains few folders and a symbolic link to one of them. I want to ignore the symbolic link to avoid version control on it -which causes duplicate commits etc. How can I add this symbolic link to ignore list without affecting the original directory?

Answer 2

You should delete that link from SVN and make SVN ignore it. Restore the link manually then.

Haven't tried it myself though.
