This is not working for me. If I do a svn proplist in the directory I
want to ignore the svn:ignore is set in the list. However, when I do a
new checkout of the project from another machine it still  tries to get
this directory. I have several large backup files in there I don't want
to get on each machine. Am I doing something wrong here? 

The directory is called techie and it is in /var/www/fame 

I did:
svn propset svn:ignore techie /var/www/fame
and got back
property 'svn:ignore' set on '/var/www/fame/techie' 

I then committed the changes. Yet for some reason a new checkout is
still trying to get this directory and this directory is listed in svn
list. 

How can I remove a directory from svn list? 

Thanks for the help.
