Re: Totaly ignore directories

I get around that kind of problem by making the file unwriteable, but that 
won't allow your wiki to work.

According to the man page "ignore" can be used the same way as "exclude", and 
"ignore /foo/bar" (full path and no trailing slash) should work.

"An entire directory can also be excluded -  simply  use  the  directory
       name with no trailing slash. For example
            exclude /foo/bar
            exclude /where/else
       to exclude the 'foo/bar' and 'where/else' subdirectories of the site."

"The ignore option is used in the same way as the exclude option."  

But these are both for  LOCAL changes.  You want to do it for REMOTE changes.  
I asked a similar question (making a local copy of the remote changes,) and 
was told that sitecopy can do it only on a WebDAV server, because it involves 
fetching not sending.  Perhaps you need to rearrange your site so that the 
wiki is in its own directory, if not top-level, at least at the same level as 
the desired directory, and outside the mask that sitecopy uses.
