Hi! We've started to move from Perforce to SVN in my company for some
reasons. We moved quite a few big projects that we have or we had been working
in the past. Working with perforce for years gave us quite a big and precise
ignore rules list. The problem is that SVN's approach to that does not
quite scale up and also makes managing ignored files a pain - especially when
working on many projects in same time. I was trying to dig for some piece of
information, why actually SVN doesn't have implemented something simillar
to GIT's or Perforce's ignore file that contains extended rules
including full directories in the rules, !mark to not apply the rules for some
files/dir, and so on. I would love to hear what's the official statement
on that problem. I see that there is quite a few people out there struggling
with the same issues. Usually everybody end up with something like own
.svnignore file, small app and a bunch of hooks triggered all the time.
Thanks in advance! Krzysztof Siewiorek-Pieniążek
