How can I tell svn to ignore certain files anywhere?

Question

How do I tell svn that every time, in any directory of any project, it encounters foo and bar it has to completely ignore them?

Answer 1

Check out ~/.subversion/config's global-ignore option:

### Set global-ignores to a set of whitespace-delimited globs
### which Subversion will ignore in its 'status' output.
# global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store
