How to Get 'Find' to Ignore .Svn Directories

How can I get `find` to ignore .svn directories?

For searching, can I suggest you look at ack ? It's a source-code aware find, and as such will automatically ignore many file types, including source code repository info such as the above.

How to get SVN to ignore a particular directory included in my svn:ignore file?

You've got the right idea. Make sure there are no spaces in front of "lib" in the ignore list. Also, after saving the edit, you can do an svn up . to pull the latest and force it to refresh the status list.

If you're trying to ignore classes/lib then do an svn propedit svn:ignore classes and set it to "lib".

How do I ignore a directory with SVN?

Set the svn:ignore property of the parent directory:

svn propset svn:ignore dirname .

If you have multiple things to ignore, separate by newlines in the property value. In that case it's easier to edit the property value using an external editor:

svn propedit svn:ignore .

Exclude .svn directories from grep

If you have GNU Grep, it should work like this:

grep --exclude-dir=".svn"

If happen to be on a Unix System without GNU Grep, try the following:

grep -R "whatever you like" *|grep -v "\.svn/*"

SVN: Ignore some directories recursively

As of subversion 1.8, there is now the svn:global-ignores property which works like svn:ignore but recursively (so set this on your top-level directory)

How to ignore .svn folder when searching in Total Commander

With Total Commander 8.01: Configuration menu / Options / (Operation) / Ignore List
With older versions: Configuration menu / Options / (Display) / Ignore List

Then add

.svn

to the textbox.

svn global-ignores to ignore contents of a specific directory, but no the directory itself

You can not implement this in Subversion by your style

Ignoring Unversioned Items clearly states:

Only file-patterns (globs) can be used, without path
Ignored files must be defined as property of parent dir
svn:ignore is not recursive

If CMake-artifacts have unique extensions, not used anymore in repository, you can try to use global-ignores runtime
