Who knew it would be so hard to get svn to ignore some files and directories?
I’m working on an Android project, and I wanted svn to stop looking at me questioningly regarding files and directories that were automatically generated every time I built my source code. Basically, I needed svn to completely ignore the following:
- bin/ and gen/: directories with generated code
- proguard/: directory generated by my editor, Eclipse
- .classpath and .project: Eclipse project files
- local.properties: local config file
- Thumbs.db: annoying Windows thumbnail database files that are EVERYWHERE
- All built Android files, which have the extension .apk or .ap_
- All Java class files, which have the extension .class
