On Windows, open the Run dialog and enter %APPDATA%\Subversion and press ENTER. Then edit the file named "config" with a text editor. The default value for this option is: [miscellany] ### Set global-ignores to a set of whitespace-delimited globs ### which Subversion will ignore in its 'status' output, and ### while importing or adding files and directories. global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store Make sure your text editor does not change the filename or save it with a file extension added. If you are using TortoiseSVN, I recall their Settings dialog also provides access to this. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
