How to Remove a Folder From Committing in SVN (Eclipse)

eclipse, springloops, subclipse, svn, version-control

Solution

I figured this out. I am an idiot. To save people future headaches, you need to go to the `SVN Repository` view in Eclipse (the top right hand corner by default, where it says `Java`, `Debug` etc. Delete it from THERE, then "update to head" and then you can right click and add to `SVN:ignore`. Then, this change should be committed.

Problem

I know I might get slammed for this question, but I have looked at previous SO questions and have not found my answer. I am using SpringLoops to host my SVN version control. I am using Subclipse an SVN plugin for Eclipse. When I right click my project's root folder and do `Team -> Commit` I do not want to include the `bin` folder to that committ. Yes, I have previously committed it, and according to this question: Subclipse svn:ignore I have to delete it from my repository first. I am not sure what this exactly means. I cannot delete from the Springloops website, and inside Eclipse when I delete the `bin` folder it just is automatically recreated (of course). How can I remove the `bin` folder from my commits?
