I cannot progress here - newbie on svn $ svn propedit svn:ignore log Set new value for property 'svn:ignore' on 'log' $ svn proplist log Properties on 'log': svn:ignore $ svn status M app/controllers/placements_controller.rb M app/views/layouts/placements.rhtml M log M log/development.log M config M config/database.yml M config/environment.rb M config/environments stuff in log still shows up and it's clear from svnbook documentation that if it was ignored, it wouldn't show up. How do get it to 'ignore' or remove items from consideration? Craig
