SVN global ignore and .mayaSwatches

Has anyone worked out a neat solution for this ?

Maya swatches typically applies to it :

As soon as you open and browse the textures thumbnails in a multilister or hypergraph , it produces this folder which you don’t want to commit accidentally or have listed as an unversionned folder when checking for modifications.

Of course like the above thread says : you can set your own local svn-ignore global props.

It would be much nicer to have it checked-in on the trunk’s root but not as a one time recursive commit (later added folders won’t catch it)

It would be great to have a special “inheritable svn-property” on folders.
tsvn:autoprops is only for files and tsvn:usedirproperties doesn’t seem to work…

I never found one I was completely happy with - but you can have a setup script that you tell people to run that will set their global ignore properties. For my case I gave everyone a tool-install script that installed TortoiseSVN and set up some of it’s configuration files.
That was a while ago and I’ve lost the script now, or I’d send it to you. =(

There’s also something fishy about the way the global-ignore pattern matches some files and folders - some things seem to slip by.

Here’s my ignore pattern, if it helps:
global-ignores = Bin */Bin bin */bin obj */obj *.suo *.user *.mayaSwatches

Yeah, I know this can be set up, can’t remember how :frowning: Did it on my last job I think.
