SVN: Ignore some directories recursively

ignore, svn, version-control

Solution

As of subversion 1.8, there is now the `svn:global-ignores` property which works like `svn:ignore` but recursively (so set this on your top-level directory)

Problem

I don't want any directory named `build` or `dist` to go into my SVN no matter how deep in the tree it is. Is this possible? In git I just put ``` build dist ``` in my `.gitignore` at the root and it recursively ignores. How do I do this with svn? Please don't tell me to do a propset on every parent dir...
