Is there a way to configure which files are non-binary (textual) in Intellij Idea so they would be included in a patch?

Question

I've got some custom filename extensions in project (like '.default' or even no-extension files). Yet these files are textual. Can I configure Intellij so files with certain extensions would be included in svn patch? I tried to find such an option but I failed.

Answer 1

Can't say about IntelliJ IDEA, but if your working copy includes

abc.default
abc1.default
text.txt
image.bmp

and you want to generate patch for .default ones, you can run the following command:

svn diff*.default > mydefaults.patch
