[Rails] ANN: svn_conf generator -- making "svn import" easy and fun

[Roustem Karimov]

Rails make it easy to start a new application. At the same time, import  
a new project into Subversion is not that simple -- there are quite few  
files that should be ignored.

I used to manually remove added log files and tmp/cache, tmp/sessions,  
tmp/sockets files after the import and then go through the painful  
process of setting svn:ignore properties.

There is an easier way -- simply create .cvsignore files before the  
import and svn will honor them.

I created svn_conf generator which will add a new rake task to your  
project to automate this. I hope you will find it useful.

Instructions:

1. Install svn_conf generator

gem install --source http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com/ 
svn_conf_generator-0.0.2.gem svn_conf_generator

2. Generate svn_conf in a new rails project (not imported into svn)

./script/generate svn_conf

3. Run svn:configure task to create .cvsignore files

rake svn:configure
