Use the following command to create a list not under version control files   svn status   grep         awk   print   2    gt  ignoring txt   Then edit the file to leave just the files you want actually to ignore  Then use this one to ignore the files listed in the file   svn propset svn ignore -F ignoring txt     Note the dot at the end of the line  It tells SVN that the property is being set on the current directory   Delete the file   rm ignoring txt   Finally commit   svn ci --message  ignoring some files    You can then check which files are ignored via   svn proplist -v

Also  if you use Tortoise SVN you can do this    In context menu select  TortoiseSVN   then  Properties  In appeared window click  New   then  Advanced  In appeared window opposite to  Property name  select or type  svn ignore   opposite to  Property value  type desired file name or folder name or file mask  in my case it was    target    click  Apply property recursively  Ok  Ok  Commit

This answer has been updated to match SVN 1 8 and 1 9 s behaviour   You have 2 questions   Marking files as ignored   By  ignored file  I mean the file won t appear in lists even as  unversioned   your SVN client will pretend the file doesn t exist at all in the filesystem   Ignored files are specified by a  file pattern   The syntax and format of file patterns is explained in SVN s online documentation  http   svnbook red-bean com nightly en svn advanced props special ignore html  File Patterns in Subversion    Subversion  as of version 1 8  June 2013  and later  supports 3 different ways of specifying file patterns  Here s a summary with examples   1 -

Use the command svn status on your working copy to show the status of files  files that are not yet under version control  and not ignored  will have a question mark next to them   As for ignoring files you need to edit the svn ignore property  read the chapter Ignoring Unversioned Items in the svnbook at http   svnbook red-bean com en 1 5 svn advanced props special ignore html  The book also describes more about using svn status

If you are using TortoiseSVN  right-click on a file and then select TortoiseSVN   Add to ignore list  This will add the file wildcard to the svn ignore property   svn ignore will be checked when you are checking in files  and matching files will be ignored  I have the following ignore list for a Visual Studio  NET project   bin obj   exe   dll  ReSharper   pdb   suo   You can find this list in the context menu at TortoiseSVN   Properties
