In subversion 1.8 over, it is possible to set global-ignores for current repository.

svn propset svn:global-ignores build .
svn propset svn:global-ignores dist .

Also you can create a folder named .svnignore, and write conditions.

build
dist

remember one condition per line, setting build/* or dist/debug is in vain. Then do the command:

svn propset svn:global-ignores -F .svnignore .
