tortoisesvn add: there is nothing to add (libstdc++.la)

[dro...@gmail.com]

OS: Windows 7 x64

TortoiseSVN: 1.13.1

SVN: svn, version 1.13.0 (r1867053) compiled Oct 31 2019, 20:41:49 on x86-microsoft-windows

Steps to repro:

1. Create empty repo

2. checkout empty repo

3. add `test` directory (no need to commit)

4. create empty file `libstdc++.la`

5. try to add `test` directory (again)

Result:

List of potential to add file is empty.

Expceted:

`libstdc++.la` file in the list to add

Seems the tortoisesvn has forced to ignore the file, which means there is no guarantee it would not ignore something else in the add.

Hi!

 

Some file types / extensions are ignored by default when you add the directory they are in.

Most intermediate compiler output artefacts belong to this group, which IMHO is a good thing, as I try to avoid committing files that are generated.

So if you want to add them, you have to mark and add the files explicitly.

This is kind of not good behaviour by default. In case if I've wanted just to copy a repository from somethere else place, I have to recheck all the files on presence in the repository only AFTER the commit and recheckout. Better to place the option to ignore known binary extension instead of silently ignore them. Or at lest add the option to include all binary extensions.

I note that the file ignores on my system include ".la", presumably by default. It should be possible to edit the file ignores for the system.

Activate the TortoiseSVN -> Settings context menu and then it's on the General page. Look in the Subversion group for the Global ignore pattern option.

Hope this helps.

Yes, this works only when I go to settings BEFORE the commit. When I already made a commit, I realized I ALREADY missed some files. This is not what a user has expected.
