Maybe I'm just tired, but svn:ignore won't work for me :(

For all that the property is set (and I've committed and updated several times since) it continues to show files as unversioned when they should be ignored. Have I done something stupid with my property?

It looks correct. What is your Subversion version?

The weird thing is that I use the same svn client at work (i.e. I work on my own macbook in the office) and our svn:ignore rules work fine for me with exactly the same way of doing it :-\
While I was writing this thread I tried a different approach:
Code: Select all
svn propedit svn:ignore build #Then typing *
svn propedit svn:ignore tests #The typing smoke.conf.php and acceptance.conf.php
That did the trick!
And in true embarassing style I have worked out why

The "build" directory and the "tests" directory are under version control so you can't ignore them.
