(Didn't know we have that much platforms ...) Well, every time we switch to a new compiler on a new platform (which happened quite some times in the younger past), every developer working on the respective platform has to adjust the global ignore list in his Unix Home, and in $(APPDATA)\Subversion on each and every Windows machine he's regularly using. Multiplying all those developers with all those profiles probably does not sum up to 50*191, but in opposite to maintaining the SVN property (which can be done by simple scripts), maintaining the config files is manual work. So, I still think putting the stuff into SVN is better ... (Hey, what did we do the migration for if we don't use all the cool new SVN features?) ... at least for the *most common* platforms - what the *#+%&$# is "unxhpxr"? And how many people will ever encounter it in real life, compared with unxlngi6, unxmacxi, and wntmsci12? > As for "I can't use the platform names in the ignore list readily": Well > this is a good(TM) thing. You should not use this names, they are > reserved for the build process. Well, yes, sure. Except that the ignore list you suggested in the Wiki also excludes files like "common_data.txt" ... Also, the reservation of those names only is true for the module root folders (i.e. the location where the "prj" sub folder resides), not for other locations. At least this would be my understanding, though you could say that the names are (by definition) reserved globally, and I'd easily accept that. > If you insist on using them, well there > is always the "--no-ignore" switch to svn add, or you just explicitly > add a path with this name.
