SVN: Recursive Svn Ignore

The easiest way to do this is by creating a global svn ignore file that you wish to copy recursively into all sub-directories.

Step 1: Create global.svn.ignore file. Type "emacs global.svn.ignore"

Step 2: Type files/directories to ignore, each on its own line (ie. *.txt, build)

Step 3: Close emacs by entering Ctrl+x, Ctrl+c, y (for yes)

Step 4: Type "svn propset -R svn:ignore -F global.svn.ignore ."

When complete the command prompt should read:
property 'svn:ignore' set (recursively) on '.'
