How can I configure TortoiseSVN to not show .class, .log and folder list when creating an svn patch

Question

I am creating an SVN patch using TortoiseSVN. It gives me a list of modified files to choose from to create a patch. In my case I get a long list of .class files and a folder list, as well as.log files.

Is it possible to configure SVN to not show the list of .class files and folder list while creating an SVN patch?

Answer 1

I usually create a patch file from the Check for modifications... screen.

Since you've mentioned that *.class and *.log are already in your svn:ignore list, you should tell TortoiseSVN to not display them:

You could also sort the modified files list by extension, and not select the files with those extensions.

From the Create Patch screen, you could also deselect Show unversioned files:

This assumes that the files were unversioned in the first place, because marking them ignored after already versioning them is pointless.

Hope this helps.

If you are on Windows you can do the following: Just rightclick any *.class or *.log file in the repofolder, go to the tab TortiseSVN-> Add to Ignorelist-> *.log/*.class. If you sue the commandline tool. You had to configure a svn:ign propperty.
