How do I configure the TortoiseSVN 'Global ignore pattern' properly?

svn, svnignore, tortoisesvn

Solution

Currently I have the following in my Global Ignore Pattern:

bin obj CVS .cvsignore *.user *.suo Debug Release *.pdb test.* Thumbs.db

Works really well to ignore several hidden or temp files/folders....

So for your specific requirements:

- Folders: `bin obj release compile`

- Files: `*.bak *.user *.suo`

I would use:

bin obj release compile *.bak *.user *.suo

Problem

I would like TortoiseSVN (1.5.3) to ignore certain folders, their contents and certain other files wherever they might appear in my directory hierarchy but I cannot get the global ignore string right. Whatever I do, it either adds to much or ignores too much What is the correct 'Global ignore pattern' to ignore.... ``` Folders : bin obj release compile Files : *.bak *.user *.suo ``` Update: To help clarify... yes I am using this on windows.
