Ignored Files

By default, all files in a working copy are expected to be placed under version control. As a result, all unversioned files (i.e. those not yet placed under version control by being added to the working copy) are displayed with a special status which is designed to attract your attention.

However you may not want to place some files under version control at all. Typically, such files include the products of build processes such as object files emitted by compilers and executables created by linkers.

By default, these files will be continuously brought to your attention by being marked as unversioned. This is distracting and makes it more difficult to isolate the interesting changes made to your working copy.

The solution is to tell Cornerstone that you want to ignore these items. As a result the items are not displayed by default in the working copy.

Cornerstone can only ignore unversioned files. Once a file has been added to a working copy it can no longer be ignored.

Global Ignore List

The global ignore list is a Subversion option which defines files and file types that should automatically be ignored. The list can contain both filenames such as .DS_Store and patterns (or globs) such as *.o and *.pbxuser.

Files and folders which match items in this list will automatically be ignored when encountered in a working copy.

The global ignore list can be edited in the Subversion section of Cornerstone‘s preferences window.

The global ignore list is a global preference which will affect all Subversion applications.
