tortoisesvnsvnignore

I told SVN to no longer ignore a properties file, but it still is

Using Tortoise SVN 1.6.16

Steps

  1. In the SVN repo directory, right click and select TortoiseSVN -> Properties.
  2. Select the property svn:ignore and Edit.
  3. Remove the desired file name from the property (in my case it was the only file, so the property is now empty).

  1. Click OK a time or two.
  2. In the SVN repo directory right click and select SVN update.

Expected result: The file gets updated.

Actual result: The file is still "skippped."

Other things I have tried include completely deleting the svn:ignore property, and even restarting this computer.

Solution

  • This worked, but other answers are still welcome:

    1. "Add" the file (but do not commit).
    2. "Revert" the file.
    3. "Update" the file.

    In that order.
