Thanks for the article and all the comments. I just recently moved to a Mac for my main development machine at work and am relearning svn commands after a love affair with TortoiseSVN on my old windows machine, sigh…

Setting up TextMate with the argument ‘-w’ worked wonderfully with the svn:ignore command from your article. Thanks a bunch!

I know this is from a long time ago, but the correct way to get TM to work as your SVN editor is:

export SVN_EDITOR='mate -w'

The -w tells mate to “wait” until that document is closed. Otherwise, mate returns immediately and SVN thinks nothing changed. You have to save the temp file that is opened in TM and then close that file.

Hi Sameet. Good tip about the SVN_EDITOR setting. Unfortunately TextMate doesn’t seem to work for me, I get the error “No changes to property ‘svn:ignore’ on ‘.’” no matter what I do. (Emacs works fine though, and I assume vi would too if I were that way inclined.)

export SVN_EDITOR=vi will set the editor to vi. For TextMate you can use SVN_EDITOR=mate
