How do you commit ONLY files you've "added" to version control in subclipse?

Question

I just spent a fair amount of time selecting the files and directories I wanted under version control. I'm running subclipse under eclipse. I right clicked, Team, Add to Version Control. Now I want ONLY those files committed without right clicking the whole directory which contains a huge number of media files that I don't want handled by version control. If I go Team/Commit under that directory it hangs for a very long time... I thought by "Add to Version Control" there was an option to commit those files only. I just don't know how to do it.

I hope I explained the question properly..

UPDATE: Since people are talking more about ways to ignore files rather than committing what you're marked as "Add"ed to Version Control, let me put this a different way. What does "Add to version control" do exactly? It seems to be a feature without use.

Answer 1

use svn:ignore for the resources you don't need under version control (Team > Add to svn:ignore)

Answer 2

You can add a pattern in Preferences/Team/Ignored resources (it's not the same as svn:ignore). You can also delete it, if it is no longer helpful.

Answer 3

Subclipse includes both unversioned files and files you specifically marked for addition when you open the commit dialog. It does not perfectly mirror the behavior of the command-line client. You have two options: uncheck each file you do not want to commit in the Subclipse commit dialog or use the command-line svn tool to commit. The command-line tool will only commit files you have marked for addition and will ignore the other files. Here's a simple example:

$ touch file
$ svn status
?       file
$ svn add file
A         file
$ svn status
A       file
$ touch file2
$ svn status
?       file2
A       file
$ svn commit -m "Added empty file"
Adding         file
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 2.

? denotes a file that it unknown to svn and will not be put under version control automatically by svn commit. A denotes a new file that is scheduled for addition. Subclipse is trying to mirror this behavior by allowing you to "add a file to version control", which is the equivalent of the command-line svn add. but also includes unversioned files not scheduled for addition in its commit dialog (which I personally find somewhat annoying). If you run svn status on the command-line, those files which you "added to version control" in Subclipse will be marked with an A while those you did not will be marked with a ?. You won't have to run any svn add commands since you did that already in Subclipse.
