Note to self: svn:ignore usage #

Putting the information here to make retrieving it a bit easier next time.

When working with svn and some random IDE I’d really love to avoid checking in any files that are IDE specific (project configuration, classpath, etc.). The command to do that:

svn propedit svn:ignore $directory_to_edit


After issuing this command you’ll be prompted to enter file patterns for files to ignore or the directory names.

More detailed information in the official documentation on svn:ignore.
