I was trying to get subversion to a single file , but kept having this error:
svn: Try ‘svn help’ for more info
svn: Explicit target required (‘config.php’ interpreted as prop value)
To get subversion to ignore a single file in a directory , so that it doesn’t get sent as part of a commit use this shell command:
(to be entered at the root of the subversion controlled file system)
svn propset svn:ignore “config.php” php_includes/
Useful for configuration files and other server unique things
