In our SVN repository, we have a project for Eclipse. From the root of the project, we have “\bin\com\company\package”. This folder should NOT be versioned, but it is. Upon further inspection using TortoiseSVN’s repo browser from the bin folder, the repo browser opens up “\src”! How do I remove this reference to the bin folder and add it to the ignore list without royally screwing up our repository?

NOTE I primarily use Subclipse for SVN tasks related to the source code, but I occasionally use Tortoise for committing and updating files elsewhere in the repository.

    I have seen this happen in Eclipse / Subclipse build processes. Basically, you have copied some source files / resoucres from \src to \bin along with the .svn – and somehow having committed that, since the .svn metadata was from \src, it shows that in the repo browser. In short, you have copied your \src working copy ( a part of it that is) to \bin and committed there.

    Modify the build process to ignore .svn in the copy process.
