How do I ignore a directory with global-ignores?

I have some directories I'd like to ignore, but I don't want to alter 
the repo for everyone.  I only want to ignore the directories on my 
local dev environment.  As far as I  can tell, there's not a way to do 
this with svn:ignore (since it is global for all users), so I'm trying 
to use global-ignores.

I have a directory in my repo "/directory/temp" that gets automatically 
generated, and I'd like to ignore it with the global-ignores setting.  I 
tried "directory/temp", "directory/temp/*", "/directory/temp/*", doesn't 
work.  I finally tried "*/directory/temp" or "*/directory/temp/*" and 
both ignore the files within the directory, but not the directory 
itself.  I'm confused by this.  Why do I need the leading "*/"?  And is 
there a way to ignore both the directory and all its contents?

Thanks all.
