Hi, You have multiple options for ignoring files, as follows:
- You can have the TortoiseSVN client globally ignore local files. - You can have the Subversion client globally ignore local files (that will also be ignored by TortoiseSVN). - You can set a property in your repository to have files ignored for that, specific repository folder (that will be recognised by all Subversion clients). Since you are using the TortoiseSVN client, you can change the global ignores for TortoiseSVN and the Subversion client in the same place. Right click the *Desktop* and select the *TortoiseSVN->Settings* menu. The *General* page allows the TortoiseSVN specific global ignores to be set directly and also allows the Subversion ignores to be changed by editing the *Subversion Configuration file*. In the configuration file, update the *global-ignores* item. I use the Subversion configuration file because I want the settings to be used by TortoiseSVN and the command line client. I use these settings to ignore files created by the specific tools I use. For example, the editor I use has specific settings files that I want to ignore on my system but aren't relevant for other developers using other tools. The next option is to set the file ignores for the repository, or a specific folder in the repository. For this, use the svn:ignore property. This is described in the Subversion documentation <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn-book.html>. I use this to ignore output artifacts created by the project that I don't want to include in version control. This might be compilation objects files or executables. This is the equivalent of the local *.gitignore* file you mentioned. Hope this helps.
