Problems with TortoiseSVN ignore folder

Question

I selected a folder called build, and i selected ignore (recursivelly) to ignore the folder and all his subfiles.

The problem is that now, all the folders called build are ignored in my project, and these folders are not subfolders of the original build folder...

Why has happened this? how can i show a list of all the ignores of my project and how to cancel all the ignores and repeat them correctly?

thanks

Why has happened this?

Because it was result of your operation and your misinterpretation of "how ignore and recursive ignore work"

When you'll ignore PATTERN, which pattern have to be added to the parent node, and if ignore recursively - ignore-pattern exactly repeated in all subdirs of directory-of-definition

In your case, in assumption of existence ROOT/build, you ignore of build wrote svn:ignore to the root-dir and recursiveness propagated to the whole tree, unrelated to /build root-node

how can i show a list of all the ignores of my project

Better - in CLI In the root of project svn pl -v -R will show exact full list of all properties

how to cancel all the ignores and repeat them correctly?

TortoiseSVN -> Properies

Edit or delete existing svn:ignore

repeat them correctly?

If your business-task is "Ignore build directory in root and it's subtree only without other build directories in tree" it will be current ignore pattern (non-recursive "build" in root)

1. Right-click in your working copy,
2. TortoiseSVN | Properties,
3. Modify svn:ignore property and select "Apply property recursively" option.
