I have set the svn:ignore property on the schemas directory, using the same
value from its parent (src/import-export/qif-import).  However, I don't have
any .svn/config to my knowledge ("find" couldn't locate one). I see that
files in the parent directory have an svn:keywords property, whereas the two
new files in the schemas directory don't. What is a "good" .svn/config and
where do I get one? And do I need to add an svn:keywords property to the two
new files?

Thanks,
Charles
