Using SVN you can right click a folder “TEST” and add it to the ignore list. Does that make SVN inore all folders named “TEST” in the project?
I have a project with many different directories and within almost all these seperate directories is a folder named “TEST”, is there a way to set the svn:ignore to make SVN ignore every folder named “TEST” in the whole project?
It will not—ignoring a folder only ignores it in that folder (and not recursively).
To do it recursively (i.e., for all folders in the project), right click the top-level folder and choose Properties, then click New…, and choose svn:ignore. Put
into the text box, and check “Apply property recursively.” This will apply it to every folder currently in the project, but you will still have to manually add it to any new folders.
Warning: This will overwrite (i.e., remove) any other ignores you may have set in the folder structure. (thanks to Pekka for this)
