SVN won't ignore directory

I am using TortoiseSVN client and I want to ignore venv/ of a Python project. I am setting the svn:ignore property in of the root directory to venv/ - no result. I am setting svn:ignore in root directory to venv/ and apply it recursively to all folders (not necessary, just because I can and for doublechecking) - no result. I add the folder to VCS and set the snv:ignore property in venv to * - all files are ignored.

Why is it not possible to ignore the whole directory in SVN? Is it just not possible? What else can I try?

Solution

  • Set svn:ignore in root directory to venv without slash did the trick, despite every source I checked said different.
