I have a folder say: /user_files, which I want to include in SVN, but there are additional folders underneath it which I don't want to include.
Is there a way to use svn:ignore to ignore anything in a folder even if that parent folder is included in the repos?

Use the following command to create a list not under version control files. 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.
To ignore files in subversion you want to set the svn:ignore property. You can see more here http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html about half way down. svn propset svn:ignore target . svn propedit svn:ignore .
Right-click in an empty area of the folder and select Refresh. You'll see “+” icons on the folders/files, now. Right-click an empty area in the folder once again and select SVN Commit. Add a message regarding what you are committing and click OK.
Use this to ignore everything in the user_files directory:
svn propset svn:ignore '*' user_files
This sets the svn:ignore property to * on the user_files directory, which effectively causes svn to ignore every untracked file in this directory.
Then you have to commit the directory on which you set the property, and update other working copies.

.svnignore doesn't stop you from adding things - it just suppresses them being reported in svn stat. You could put /user_files in your .svnignore and then force-add the things you want to add from there.
