Re: Adding files to ignore list recursively

[Antony Paul]

Thanks. I was using Eclipse to checkin the files. I think it
explicitly check in each files. Because the initial version number is
1.1. If I do an import from command line the version number becomes
1.1.1.1. Will removing a ,V file from repository remove the file
without causing any other problems ?.
