Trouble with ignoring Subversion directories with EDP

[psguru]

So, should the \"correct\" CVS exclusion also just be:

Code: Select all

:*\\CVS

Yes. Just keep in mind that such filter will also work for paths like this:

Code: Select all

C:\Dir\CVS1.cpp

In using

Code: Select all

:*\.svn

I'm still seeing a substantial slow down when comparing a subversion "sandbox" with a directory that doesn't have the .svn subdirectories.

But when using

Code: Select all

:*\.svn\*

its much faster. (but it shows the ".svn" directories)

Its like the first exclusion pattern is not ignoring the contents of the .svn directory when doing the compare.

[psguru]

I don't see why.

This filter

Code: Select all

:*\.svn

is going to match more items, not less than

Code: Select all

:*\.svn\*

As a result, more items should be excluded if you use the first filter, and the comparison should be faster.

[jsivak]

Except

Code: Select all

:*\.svn

doesn't seem to match/ignore a directory named ".svn". (When that directory is present on only one "side" of the comparison.)

[psguru]

I believe we already covered this.

Code: Select all

:*\.svn

does match directories named ".svn", and you seem to have tested that.

Sorry, you're right.. I was getting my "issues" mixed up.

Have you tried comparing a checked out SVN project against an "exported" SVN project (one that doesn't have all of the .svn directories)?

It really appears that the simple ":\.svn" exclude pattern is not preventing ED from "looking" into the .svn directories (which contain lots of files that are going to be ignored anyways).
It's made worse when comparing a local directory against a networked directory (a share on a network server).

[psguru]

OK, now it's my turn to admit being mixed up. The pattern that you need to use is actually

Code: Select all

:*\.svn*

(note the star at the end).
