svn
Hi,
I am creating an eclipse project, which generates a lot of files I don't want to keep under version control. For example, it creates a project folder like:
project/
    bin/
      horse.class
      cow.class
    src/
      horse.java
      cow.java
so what I do is add the project folder to svn, like:
svn add project
this puts everything under control, even the bin and .class files. All of those files will have the little 'a' next to them.
How can I simply remove the 'add' status from those files? If I try:
svn remove bin/horse.class 
I have to use the --force option and it deletes the file from disk. Is there a way to simply remove it from source but not delete the file from disk?
Thanks
