How to ignore a directory in svn status?

I want to ignore a directory or a group of files when I run svn st, but I don't want to set the svn:ignore property, which means I still want the directory/files to be updated when I run svn up. I just don't want to see the status of that folder. Can I achieve this?

You could group the files and folders that you'd like to see the status for into a changelist, and then pass that through to the svn status command using the --changelist option.

Setting svn:ignore means that these files won't be shown at svn st if they are not already added. If you set svn:ignore for a specific file and add this file manually, it is under version control and svn st will consider this file.

I don't know what you're exactly doing, but maybe you can "filter" the output of svn st and get rid of the unwanted lines afterwards, e.g. using grep on the output of svn st.
