Thanks David. For the past week and a half I've been wrestling with this thing. Searching, reading, trying, back to searching. Time to switch gears but I needed to get over this hurdle. I'm now on the second repository I have to dispose of (and all the history with it) so I hope the 3rd time's the charm.

For Windows 7 it's in: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\config Which I can confirm. In the "config" file, I have my global-ignores for Windows set to: global-ignores = *.obj *.lib *.map *.exe *.bak *.pdb *.ilk *.idb There might need to be a few more; it's been several years since I have imported existing code into my Subversion repositories.
