Preventing temp files from being added to an autoversioned repository
I am testing the performance of a webdav svn repository with
autoversion mounted on a network share with WebDrive. I realized that
opening and saving (for example) a Microsfot Office file creates
temporary copies (~ and tmp files), that of course are being added
(and subsequently deleted) to the repository all the time!
Is there a way at all to avoid throwing temp files into the
repository, as this increases considerably the number of commits with
useless data?
Thanks,
Matheus

Yes, I tried the 'global-ignore' option, but that is a client side
configuration and didn't work. Since I am accessing an autoversioned
repository with webdav, this means I am not using the Subversion
client to add and commit files. Is this right?
So, basically, this is a feature SVN doesn't have. I belive
autoversioning is very cool, but the inability to ignore certain files
that clutter the repository (such as temporary Word files, that are
always created on the same folder of the opened file) will prevent me
from using it in a production environment.

Maybe Office temp files can be stored elsewhere (I haven't figured out
yet), but in a corporate environment, I can't tell everyone to
reconfigure their Offices (and who knows what else). I am setting up
this solution to non technical people, and they wouldn't know how
anyway...
