Puppet users - Dec 2010 - Serving files while ignoring some (e.g. .svn)

I make user of the puppet fileserving capability to serve up configs and smaller
executables I need on my deployed servers.

Sometimes I populate directories to be served on the puppetmaster via
subversion.

When I recursively populate this kind of directory via puppet, it brings over
the .svn directory, etc, which is not what I want.

How can I configure either the puppet file server, or modify my manifest, to
prevent pulling over the .svn directory also?

the fileresource has an ignore paramter for this. Have a look at the
type reference:

If you export from subversion rather than doing a checkout you will
not get the .svn directories.
