SVN (subversion) for windows tip

| Thursday, February 3, 2011
For those of you who use SVN (subversion) for windows and TortoiseSVN as your 100% free source control solution with a Microsoft visual studio environment I have a small tip that may save you some time.

When you want to commit in code you get all the files that were modified, added or deleted.
As you compile a project, many output files that are not truly source control files are created. These include the bin, obj, debug, and release files.

For example, when I added a new project and wanted to commit it in I got the following:

As you can see, although not marked by default, I got irrelevant files which I will encounter over and over again each time I will want to commit in code or check for modifications.
One option you have to is to right click the irrelevant files and then add them to your ignore list.
The problem with this - is that each time something changes in your project files or your TortoiseSVN settings were lost for some reason (finally got that new fancy laptop the boss promised you...) you'll have to do this again.

Instead, you have the very nice option to go to your source code repository main root, right click somewhere inside the folder and then click on the TortoiseSVN --> Properties sub menu item .
Then you will get the following screen:
