Answer 1

If you are using TortoiseSVN, you can go in TortoiseSVN's settings (Right Click > TortoiseSVN > Settings).

In the General Tab, Subversion Group, add a lone asterisk (*) to the Global Ignore Pattern option.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

In your private subversion config file for the repository, set the global-ignores flag, like this:

[miscellany]
global-ignores = *.class *.o
