Ignore this file - option always greyed out
I can't figure out how to get Versions to ignore a file called configuration.php. When I right-click the file, the option to "Ignore configuration.php" is greyed out. When I click the containing folder and add an ignore statement in there like *.php, or configuration.php, the file still appears with the pencil next to it. I just installed the latest version of Versions today and this did not solve my problem. I tried editing the config file by uncommenting the line "global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store configuration.php" and this doesn't work either. I'm at a loss... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.

Ignore is used for files that change but are not neccessary like build files which change regularly but are not required to recreate the project if something weird happens. does the configuration.php file get changed regularly? ie is it built dynamically from a script or make file etc? if so you can delete it from the repository and when versions shows it again with a question mark against it you can then ignore it. You may need to checkout your project again after the deletion to make your working copy reflect your repo. I think this is right and please correct me if there is a better method. Thoughts Quinn?

Select configuration.php in Versions Browse view and 'Delete' 2. Hit commit to actually delete the file from the Repository 3. Re-create the file 4. Go back to Versions, and right/control-click the new configuration.php and select 'Ignore "configuration.php"' 5. Select the folder that contains configuration.php (the ignore property is actually set on the folder, not the file) 6. Commit again 7.
