Subversion allows to set a special property "svn:ignore" which causes specified files/directories being ignored when checking in changes to Subversion.

This is done with the subversion propget/propset/propedit commands, i.e.

svn propset svn:ignore build .

will ignore the build-directory from checkins.

svn propedit svn:ignore .

will allow to edit ignores in the currently defined editor.

svn propget svn:ignore

will show the currently set ignores in the current directory.
