I configured ignore-paths as follows: svn-remote.svn.ignore-paths=^DB.* I expected this would exclude paths of this kind on the initial fetch: DB/.project but when I run git svn fetch, paths of this kind actually do get pulled. I have also tried: svn-remote.svn.ignore-paths=^DB with the same result. I am using git version 1.7.9.264 What am I doing wrong? jon. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
