Its no big deal at first but over time, it can kill your productivity, especially when you’re isolating some changes whenever you commit. In my case since I’m working on a CakePHP application, that would be the tmp folder.

So here’s what I did:

  • Set VIM as editor for svn property files by running export SVN_EDITOR=vim on the terminal
  • then run svn propedit svn:ignore ./tmp
  • Insert * (asterisk) in the VIM editor, to “Ignore everything insider the tmp folder”
  • Save it, Commit and that’s it!

I think VIM is really a handy editor for cases like this, I actually failed to set Coda, TextEdit, and TextMate as my SVN editor. So it really saved me a lot of time.

Update: It seems I still have to manually ignore each directory inside tmp for it to work.
