Remove a file from svn:ignore in CFBuilder
Have you ever added a file to svn:ignore and then immediately screamed "Noooooo! Command Zee!" (Or "Noooooo! Control Zee!" for you Windows folks...) I just did.
SVN:ignore is great for making sure you don't accidentally commit a configuration file containing passwords to your Subversion repository. You can get to it by right-clicking on the file you want to ignore in Eclipse/CFB's Navigator pane, and choosing "Add to svn:ignore..." from the "Team" menu.
This is all well and good until you accidentally ignore a file that you want in your repository. Whoops! Command Z!
Unfortunately, removing files from svn:ignore is not as intuitive. But don't fret, it's still pretty easy.
I am using Subversive for SVN integration in CFB, but I got the tip from someone using Subclipse, so I assume it's only some labels that are different, if anything.
- Right click on the project folder, and choose properties.
- In the dialog that comes up, choose the item "SVN Info" item in the left pane.
- SVN properties will be displayed in the listbox at the bottom-right of the dialog. Find "svn:ignore" and double-click it.
- A dialog displays the current value and allows you to edit it. Find the offending line, remove it, and hit the OK button to save your changes.
- Your file should now go back to the not-added-to-svn state, and you can commit it at will. If you don't see it, try refreshing the project.
