title: SVN: Ignore externals when committing
body: <p>Is it possible to ignore the commit of externals in SVN?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have a project and one of the subfolders is an external:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn:externals
  my_remote_folder http://svn.whatever.org/blah/trunk/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works seamlessly. Always when I perform an update, the externals get updated as well.</p>
  
  <p>But when I change anything in the local checkout of this external my IDE recognizes the change and offers me the file to commit. But maybe I have just read-access to the external SVN.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to ignore the folder conventionally:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn:ignore
  my_remote_folder
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>my_remote_folder .
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But my IDE (PhpStorm) and also TortoiseSVN still ignore this ignore.</p>
