title: How to delete temp files from subversion but retain the copy in my local folder?
body: <p>When we moved to SVN, we just included anything and everything in our folders on subversion. I want to exclude all log files in a folder.</p>
  
  <p>I am on Ubuntu.</p>
  
  <pre><code>thinkcode@myserver:~/Project1/Log/*.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All the .txt files are on subversion and these log files are created on a daily basis. I want to delete them off of subversion but retain them in my Log folder. </p>
  
  <p><code>svn propedit svn:ignore ./some_path</code> doesn't seem to do the trick. The new *.txt files are still showing as '?' when doing an <code>svn status</code>.I tried it on a new folder and I get <code>svn: 'c.txt' is not under version control</code></p>
  
  <p>Any leads are much appreciated!</p>
