How do I ignore a directory with SVN?

by

Set the svn:ignore property of the parent directory:

svn propset svn:ignore dirname .

If you have multiple things to ignore, separate by newlines in the property value. In that case it’s easier to edit the property value using an external editor:

svn propedit svn:ignore .
