Ignore files/folders server side

[Darrell Blake <da...@gmail.com>]

Is there any way I can tell my svnserve daemon to ignore files/folders?

At the minute if I right click on the root folder in TortoiseSVN and
choose Add it displays all the files from the root down that aren't
under source control. Obviously,  there's a lot of these that don't
want to be added. Object files, built executables etc.

I can only find documentation on ignoring files and folders client
side. The problem with this is that I would have to go to every user's
TortoiseSVN (or standard SVN client) and put the ignore rules in.

Surely there's a way to have a global ignore rules list on the server
that all clients would adhere to?

There is not. You must configure it on every client.

If you like, you can write a pre-commit hook which rejects the commit  
of any type of file that you never want to have in the repository. In  
the error message printed by such a hook, you can inform your users  
how to configure their clients properly, for example by directing  
them to a pre-made config file that matches your specifications.
