In [Git][1], if I have a project with lots of projects inside, let&#39;s suppose, a lot of Java projects, I can just create a `.gitignore` file in the root and it will &quot;be respected&quot; in the entire repository.

How can I do this for an SVN project?

For example, how can I make an &quot;svn ignore&quot; setup (via cmd line) for a `.gitignore` like the following?


    *.class
    *.jar
    *.war
    *.ear
    target/
    .classpath
    .settings/
    .project
    .metadata
    bin/

The most important part of the question: How can I make it work to new folders inside the root? Example:

I ran `svn propset svn:ignore &quot;*.class&quot; . -R` in my root and commit. Ok:

    root
    - folder1/
    -- *.class (ignored)
    -- other files (ok)
    - folder2/
    -- *.class (ignored)
    -- other files (ok)

Now, I create folder 3. The previous `svn:ignore` settings will not apply, right? Is there a way to make it so?

SVN ignore like .gitignore

Is there a way to setup a global list of Ignores for a SVN Repository or for the SVN Client on the PC?

The only reason I&#39;m using tools like Tortoise/Ankh/VisualSVN is because I want to only check in the files I need without all the bin/obj/Resharper stuff.

I&#39;m spoiled by `.gitignore` and `.hgignore` which I just copy to a repository and then use `git commit -a` without having to care about checking in junk.

I know I can manually set it, but that&#39;s tedious to do and I think it had to be applied to every new folder that gets created as well.

Is there a concept of global ignores in svn?

I am supporting a number of .Net developers who are using Subversion to version control their work, but we have been running into a number of issues that seem to revolve around the additional files that Visual Studio uses to manage projects, do debugging, etc. Specifically, it seems that these files are causing conflicts due to the fact that they are already in the repo. I know how to get them out and how to handle them, but I need to know what &quot;they&quot; are first. 

So, what are the files/directories that Subversion can ignore, and why can they be ignored?(aka. what do those files do?)

This is a large, rather un-organized ASP.Net site and deploying the site is done via. svn updates, so files needed by IIS to dynamically compile (I think that&#39;s what it is) the site as files change needs to be left in the repo.

What Visual Studio files should be ignored by subversion to minimize conflicts?

I&#39;ve recently started working on various C# projects in Visual Studio as part of a plan for a large scale system that will be used to replace our current system that&#39;s built from a cobbling-together of various programs and scripts written in C and Perl.  The projects I&#39;m now working on have reached critical mass for being committed to subversion.  I was wondering what should and should not be committed to the repository for Visual Studio projects.  I know that it&#39;s going to generate various files that are just build-artifacts and don&#39;t really need to be committed, and I was wondering if anybody had any advice for properly using SVN with Visual Studio.  At the moment, I&#39;m using an SVN 1.6 server with Visual Studio 2010 beta.  Any advice, opinions are welcome.
