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
