Hi, thank you for quick response.
I would say this is kind of gray zone. I don't want svn:ignore to be inherited to all the subfolders. Not at all. For what svn:global-ignores would be then? I only think when something is inherited then it is automatically applied. What else would be the meaning of word "inheritance"? In my eyes parameter --show-inherited-props should only list properties which are really inherited. Documentation here says: ...the patterns found in the svn:ignore property apply only to the directory on which that property is set, and not to any of its subdirectories. https://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore. html On the other hand svn proplist --help says: --show-inherited-props : retrieve properties set on parents of the target Not a word about inheritance.

Property svn:ignore is not inheritable. I am wondering why is property svn:ignore reported as inherited from folder main when querying e.g. via svn proplist config --show-inherited-props Here is the output: svn proplist config --show-inherited-props Inherited properties on 'config', from '/tmp/main': svn:ignore Isn't it a bug? " Hi, There is some information in the Subversion book[1], in particular the (i)- box towards the end of the section. In short: The --show-inherited-props only figure out what properties are listed for the parent(s) of the current path, but it doesn't automatically mean that a property is applied on a subdirectory (as you have already figured out). Now, we can regard this as a bug or as "works as intended". I can see a point in svn:ignore being applied also to subdirectories, however this will mean a change in behaviour between how older and newer versions of the Subversion client work with a particular repository and I suppose this was the reason why it was decided not to have all properties apply to subdirectories. The svn:global-ignores property [2] should be applied to any subdirectories, so if you switch to this property you will probably get the behaviour you are looking for.
