Add a subversion directory tree to the MATLAB search path

File Information
Description	ADDPATHSVN appends path names from a subversion directory tree to the MATLAB search path. This function will ignore the '.svn' directories that exist in each directory under version control, as well as a list of full or partial path names that you specify. The function could easily be modified to work with a cvs directory tree, and probably other version control systems as well. This function is extremely useful in situations where a directory tree is constantly changing, and you do not want to worry about keeping your MATLAB search path up to date manually. By modifying and then adding the following bit of code to your startup.m file, your directory tree will be added to the MATLAB search path at startup, provided that addpathsvn and its subfunction are already on the MATLAB search path. % path to working copy of repository reposPath = '~/svnwork'; % list of directories to ignore ignoreList = {'dir1', 'dir2', ... } % add svnwork and all subdirectories to % the matlab search path addpathsvn(reposPath,'RECURSIVE',ignoreList); % clear variables from workspace clear variables; Please contact me if you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvement.

01 Apr 2008	Anna Kelbert	Nice and convenient, thanks. Hopefully someday Matlab will improve addpath(genpath(dir)) by adding a second argument (exceptions) to genpath. In the meanwhile, this is a more portable solution than overwriting the genpath function. A bug report: the function crashed on me when I tried running addpathsvn recursive on a directory that didn't have any subdirectories. Inserting these lines after the line 99 if ischar(pathList) pathList = { pathList }; end fixed the problem.
21 Nov 2008	Thierry Dalon	Wow! Code is pretty complicated! Modifiying the original genpath function to take ignore input and put it as subfunction in your addpathsvn function would be easier and more optimized. Here you still call genpath fully and then filter out the input. See other FX 21086 implementation.
