Dr Alastair Weakley:

I've been looking into how to get subversion to ignore certain files (specifically .pyc) in my django projects. This is the command that I used:

svn propset svn:ignore -R -F .svnignore .

In English- set the property svn:ignore on all the current folder (recursively), using the instructions in the file called .svnignore

.svnignore contains:

` *.pyc

localsettings.py`

Here's the reference: from the svn book
