I find a strange problem of SmartSVN:

If I add some files into the repository, most of them will be identified by smartsvn except .a files, I don't know if this is a setting problem issue or other things ......

Dose anyone met this problem before ? Could anyone give me some information about this ? Thanks very much :)

  • That is "identified by smartsvn" in terms of **Subversion**? – Lazy Badger Oct 26 '11 at 06:06
  • SmartSVN is just a client software for Subversion, I use it for version-control on MACOSX. When open it, it will show the repository files.But everytime when I drag new files into repository and try to do the 'add' operation, I just can not find the .a files in the SmartSVN, but it seems other format files are OK (like .h, .m etc.)...... – Hugo Oct 26 '11 at 07:27
  • And in finder, you can see these 'missing' .a files are all at the right place ...... I googled it but still can't figure it out ...... – Hugo Oct 26 '11 at 07:33
  • I know, what is SmartSVN... I just don't understand SmartSVN-specific terms. These files (extension) can be in ignored list. Check svn:ignore property of root folder. > The svn:ignore property contains a list of file patterns which certain Subversion operations will ignore. Perhaps the most commonly used special property, it works in conjunction with the global-ignores run-time configuration option (see the section called “Config”) to filter unversioned files and directories out of commands svn status, svn add, and svn import. – Lazy Badger Oct 26 '11 at 08:09
  • Whether global-ignores from Subversion's "config" file are used or not depends on SmartSVN's Project Settings - Working Copy - Global Ignores – mstrap Oct 26 '11 at 09:06

    I've checked ~/.subversion/config and found .a file is in the global-ignored list, Thanks very much :) – Hugo Oct 26 '11 at 13:33

I have the same problem and I solved it. Just click "View" and check "Ignored Files", when it shows to you just add it like other files

You can go Project-Settings-Global ingnores-deactivated after that you can commit all your files (even .ds file, so be careful)
