how to use working tree ignores in windows

Asked by Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi

I tried to specify some folders to be ignored but it didn't work at all.

How can I do it in Windows?

Procedures:
1) Added ".bzrignore" to the repository
2) Modifiled ".bzrignore" as following:
dist/*.*
3) Committed ".bzrignore" to the repository
4) Updated the repository
5) but bzr still suggest to add "dist" to the working tree!

With "dist/*.*" you've told it to ignore everything inside the dist folder, but not the folder itself.

What you generally want is just to run:

    bzr ignore ./dist

Which tells bzr to ignore anything named dist in the branch's root directory.

 You only added the files *inside* of dist to the ignore file. If you
want to ignore 'dist' itself too, add it as a separate entry in the
.bzrignore file.
