Set in the late 1930s, the musical tells the story of an unapologetically unrefined cockney gentleman who learns that he is the rather unlikely 14th Earl of Hareford. His newly discovered relatives and the local gentry however are not amused! Music by Noel Gay, and words adapted by Stephen Fry, Me and My Girl is full of catchy tunes, corny jokes and lashings of lively dancing. The show features familiar favourites such as The Lambeth Walk and The Sun Has Got His Hat On.

Great Big Moose scout campfire song (or Crazy Moose)

Had a great campfile last weekend with Balally scouts.
My first time being one of the people standing up between fire and audience singing a few songs.
Great fun! Phil, Stevo, Adam and James. @ glencamp 2.0 Balally 137th. No Bananas in the Sky, Button factory Joe. Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, Campfire's burning. 
Indian hand clap. Seal of approval.

One of the Beavers was singing the great big moose song before the campfire. Mixing up the lyrics alot but brilliant actions. She gave it a go at the campfire too. She has moved up to cubs now.

Another girl who is not even in Beavers yet gave a fantastic rendition of "crinkle crinkle little star". Mega stuff.

Scouts did we're going on a bear hunt.

Great Big Moose song (or Crazy Moose)
(audience repeats after leader)

There was a great big moose (there was a great big moose)
Who liked to drink a lot of juice (who liked to drink a lot of juice)
There was a GREAT BIG  moose (there was a GREAT BIG moose)
Who liked to drink a lot of juice (who liked to drink a lot of juice)

Chorus
Singing way-oh, way oh (singing way-oh, way-oh)
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way (way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way)
Way-oh, way oh (way-oh, way-oh)
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way (way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way)

The moose's name was Fred.
He liked to drink his juice in bed.

He drank his juice with care,
But he spilled some in his hair.
He spilled some on the sofa
He spilled some on the TV
He spilled some EVERYWHERE

Now he’s a sticky moose.
A moose covered in juice.

All his hair went stiff.
So he combed it in a quiff.

His friends began to laugh.
So he had to take a bath.

As the water went down,
Fred the moose began to drown.
Singing glug-glug-glug-glug

Now let's all count to five.

Fred the moose is back alive.

Temporarily ignore some files with subversion. global-ignores, svn:ignore property and bash functions to add and remove elements from global-ignores

How might we temporarily ignore some files with subversion.
e.g. when doing a particular type of merge or svn diff/status

There is not an svn command-line option to do this.
Setting svn:ignore property on directory would work, but it is easier to put in a temporary global ignore.


Setting svn:ignore property on directory would work, but ...
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html
svn propedit svn:ignore .

It is easier to put in a temporary global ignore.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.confarea.html
edit your ~/.subversion/config file, uncomment and change the global-ignores list
global-ignores = *.o *.log
Some bash functions so adding and removing these global ignores can be automated:

function svnAddToGlobalIgnores {
 SVNGI=$(grep global-ignores ~/.subversion/config  |grep -v ^#)
 if [[ "$SVNGI" == "" ]] ; then
    echo "" >> ~/.subversion/config
    echo "global-ignores = $*" >> ~/.subversion/config
 else
    sed -ibak "s/^\(global-ignores.*\)$/\1 $*/" ~/.subversion/config
 fi
 grep global-ignores ~/.subversion/config
}
function svnRmFromGlobalIgnores {
 SVNGI=$(grep global-ignores ~/.subversion/config  |grep -v ^#)
 if [[ "$SVNGI" == "" ]] ; then
    echo "nothing to do"
 else
    for f in $*; do 
        sed -irmbak "s/^\(global-ignores.*\)$f\(.*\)$/\1\2/" ~/.subversion/config
    done
 fi
 grep global-ignores ~/.subversion/config
}

Usage:
svnAddToGlobalIgnores ReleaseNotes.txt ReleaseDiff.log modulerelease.tcl
svn merge $SVNREINT $SVNURLFROM
svnRmFromGlobalIgnores ReleaseNotes.txt ReleaseDiff.log modulerelease.tcl
