What's wrong with my svn:ignore pattern?
- by boris callens
I have the pattern svn:ignore datasheets/*/*.pdf
It is supposed to ignore all pdfs that are at an arbitrary depth under multiple "datasheet" directories under the current root folder.
As an example: say I have a dir structure like this
Websites
-web1
-dataSheets
-AT
-ignore.pdf
-BE
-NL
-ignore.pdf
-FR
-ignore.pdf
-ignore2.pdf
-licenseAgreements
-important.pdf
-web2
-datasheets
-etc
In this example the pattern needs to ignore all the ignore.pdfs without ingoring the important.pdf too.
The shown pattern still includes all my pdf files.
I know there are a bunch of similar questions, but none of them seem to tackle the problem with the various hierarchy levels.
