duplicate: Ignore SVN ignore... possible?
Suppose my working copy is littered with unversioned files that I don\'t want to delete. I want svn to ignore these files
Yes, the user configuration file can contain the global-ignores
option which is exactly what you're looking for.
The location of this file varies by platform. From the documentation:
On Unix-like systems, this area appears as a directory named .subversion in the user's home directory. On Win32 systems, Subversion creates a folder named Subversion, typically inside the Application Data area of the user's profile directory (which, by the way, is usually a hidden directory). However, on this platform the exact location differs from system to system, and is dictated by the Windows registry.
