<p>I just started using SVN, and I have a cache directory that I don't need under source control. How can I ignore the whole directory/folder with SVN?</p>

<p>I am using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Subversion_clients#Standalone_Subversion_clients_comparison_table" rel="noreferrer">Versions</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TextMate" rel="noreferrer">TextMate</a> on OS&nbsp;X and commandline.</p>

Set the
```
svn:ignore
```
property of the parent directory:
```
```
svn propset svn:ignore dirname .
```
```
If you have multiple things to ignore, separate by newlines in the property value.  In that case it's easier to edit the property value using an external editor:
```
```
svn propedit svn:ignore .
```
```
