Subversion and Junk Files

BogBoa is hosted on GoogleCode.com which uses Subversion for version control. I really like Subversion but often you need to tell it to ignore junk files like *.pyc (compiled Python programs) and *.aux (LaTex leftovers).

You can tell Subversion to ignore specific types of files by editing .subversion/config in your home directory and adding a line like:

global-ignores = *.pyc *.log *.out *.toc *.aux *.sqlite *.pdf
