How do I delete a file/folder that's in RTC but also ignored by .jazzignore rule set?
How do I delete a file/folder that's in RTC but also ignored by .jazzignore rule set? Once I load a work space I see some loaded files that were added to the repository before the ignore rules were introduced. I can delete these but they don't show up in the change set thus preventing me from delivering the deletion. How do I do delete these? Do I really need to exclude them first from .jazzignore, delete, deliver, and then include them again into .jazzignore? Any easier way? Thanks.
Accepted answer
Yes, you will have to temporarily un-ignore the file. When a file is in the ignore list... it prevents 'any' type of change from being detected (whether it is a modification/add/delete). Once you un-ignore (or exclude) the file from the ignore list, and delete it, you can then deliver the file deletion in a change set, but you don't have to deliver any change to your ignore file (i.e. you can just undo that change after you have delivered the file deletion).
