Hi!

I am using subversion for part of my data and unison for the
rest. I
want to stop unison from touching the directories that are under
svn
control but so far didn't succeed. I only can put them one after
the
other into the prf file. To avoid this. I tried

Ignore Path */.svn

as a the dir .svn is in every svn controlled dir. But no success
so far.

Any ideas how I could achieve this

Is there any way to make unison ignore all links? I'm creating a large
number of beamer presentations, and then I prefer to have a link from
the actual image files to the directory where the presentation is
created. This is no problem with UNIX - UNIX syncs, but when the FAT16
formatted USB stick get's involved I get to either create a specific
ignore rule for each link or have it ask about them each time (and then
fail).

I could ignore all .png files in the directories where presentations
live, but I'd rather just stop links from even being tried when syncing
to the USB stick.

Well, we know that after the wreck of Numenor, Sauron lost the power to take
on a pleasing shape. Unfortunately, that's inconclusive.

This is ignoring only the svn dir itself and not the directory .svn is
sitting in.
The structure is as follows:
somedir/
someotherdir/
dirtoignore/
.svn/
dirindirtoignore
fileindirtoignore

How can I get rid of dirtoignore/ ? I have a number of these and they
can in principle pop up all over the filesystem where ever I decide to
checkout my subversion projects, so I don't want to include them by
their absolut path because after I while I will end up with a great
number of them and partly they maybe not existing anymore.

Hi folks,

We are running Unison v. 2.13.16 and synching between 2 Red Hat Linux
boxes. Unison seems to consume and then not release a good chunk of
memory when it runs for the first time on a new root. Is the fact that
Unison is not releasing the memory happening by design, or is this a
potential issue that we are seeing?

We have also seen Unison crash due to a lack of available memory when
doing its initial analysis of new roots that are very large. It then
also seems to keep the memory in its grasp, which is problematic since
that means it's taking most/all of the available memory on the machine.

Has anyone else seen similar behaviour? Are there known workarounds, or
does this sound like all is well? Etc.

Many thanks,
--Erik Spears

I tried but maybe due to my limited capability to understand Regex I
didn't have success. Any suggestions?

Try Regex.

What you want can't be done with Unison's ignore mechanism.

This sounds like normal behavior (depending what you mean by "a good
chunk" . Unison builds a data structure describing all the
updates it sees, which for the first run has to include an entry for
every file in the filesystem. This can get big.

A workaround is to use the -path option to restrict Unison's
attention to just a part of the replica at a time, when first
synchronizing a particular pair of roots.
