Hello list,

I'm working on a project that is using svn as it's vesion-tracking/control technology. I'm the only rebel and I'm using git-svn to interact with this svn repo :)

I need to make the version control system ignore a specific file and spread this ignore rule across all developers. Now, if everyone was using git, this would be a simple solution -- just create a .gitignore file in the root of the working tree and commit it. The thing is, all other developers are using svn, and I'm not sure how I could put this entry into svn:ignore for them and also make my .gitignore synced with svn:ignore.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
