Exclude a folder from SVN checkout on Aptana

I have a site developed with cakePHP. I have it under source control with svn. I develop it with the Aptana Studio, both in Linux and in windows.

there are some directories like app/tmp which as the name says holds temporary data. Is it possible to omit the folder for being checked by aptana studio where to be commited? I right-clicked on the folder and applied a svn propert svn-ignore: *

But still every time I want to commit those files/folders appear in my list of changed files.

Solution

  • First, if the folder is already in svn, you should remove it from source control (using 'svn delete').

    Then you should set the svn:ignore (note the colon instead of the dash) property on the parent folder to include the folder name that you want to ignore.

    so for app\tmp, set svn:ignore on 'app' to 'tmp'
