This was posted on the perl6-internals list by JÃrgen BÃmmels: > In the current SVN repository are 76 .cvsignore files. In SVN they aren't used > any more. SVN uses the property 'svn:ignore' on a directory instead. > > During the cvs => svn transition the svn:ignore properties were set but in > the recent weeks they started to diverge. Currently (r8078) 22 .cvsignore > differ from svn:ignore (see attached cvsignore.diff) > I think we should remove .cvsignore files entirly. I noticed that .cvsignore is still used in tool/dev/manicheck.pl and Autrius Tang suggested to use 'svn propget svn:ignore' or 'svk propget svn:ignore'. So that's the plan: i. Migrate the changes in .cvsignore file into the svn:ignore property ii. Tell manicheck.pl to query the SVN properties iii. remove the .cvsignore files
