If you work on a mac (as i do) your directories get poluted with .DS_Store, ._ and .AppleDoubel files. Apple (this is THE missing Finder feature!) has no option to turn this crap off.
Now when you use svn, you will also import all these useless files.
Thank god there is a option in svn to globally ignore specific files.
Just edit the file:
~/subversion/config
Find the line global-ignores, uncomment it and make it something like this:
global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store .AppleDouble ._*
Whoot!
