Use the ignore command to put an entry in the global or local .cvsignore file. This causes the specified file(s) or directory to be ignored in SmartCVS.
Depending on whether the command was invoked on a directory or a file, different dialogs are shown.
With the How to Ignore option you specify, whether the file(s) should be ignored explicitely using the full file name(s) or by a pattern. The pattern may contain the well-known wildcards '*' (0 or more characters) and '?' (one character) to form the pattern.
With the What .cvsignore File to Use option you decide, whether the global or local .cvsignore file should be used for adding the new entry. The global .cvsignore file is located in your home directory and influences any project and directory. The local .cvsignore file is located in the directory, the selected file is located in. It only influences files in this directory. If the global or local .cvsignore file isn't present yet, it will be created automatically.
Click the Ignore button to ignore the directory. Directories are always ignored explicitly (no patterns possible) and locally.
