I’ve been looking at all kinds of stuff and reading many, many posts but nothing is clear. I do not have any specific suggestion, just that if you see a ? then that means the file should be ignorable if the settings are right. For example, what is a comment in the config file. Many places it talks about comments but nowhere does it explain what a comment is. I see lines starting with # and lines starting with ###. Are all of those comments or just the ###? It is clear that the lines with ### are comments but is subversion reading the lines with # or are they comments also? Any line that starts with # is a comment. On Windows, open the Run dialog and enter %APPDATA%\Subversion and press ENTER. Then edit the file named "config" with a text editor. The default value for this option is: [miscellany] ### Set global-ignores to a set of whitespace-delimited globs ### which Subversion will ignore in its 'status' output, and ### while importing or adding files and directories. global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store Make sure your text editor does not change the filename or save it with a file extension added. If you are using TortoiseSVN, I recall their Settings dialog also provides access to this. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
