Don't version control the 'bin' folder
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
Instead of using the "bin" folder to contain library files, I find it
better to have them in a "lib" or "thirdparty" folder on the solution level
of the project so the "bin" folder doesn't need to be version controlled.
Having the "bin" folder version controlled is a bit messy since Visual
Studio creates and deletes folders and files within it without regard for
any possible contained .svn folders holding metadata about the versioned
files. I find that the best thing to do is to ignore the "bin" folder,
since a simple build of the solution imho shouldn't result in versioned
files being changed, folders added and otherwise things that SVN clients
would like to commit as changes.
Attached is a patch that creates the "lib" folder and ignores and excludes
the "bin" (as well as the "obj") folder.
