You're using Dreamweaver; I'd made the logical leap ;-)

I've attached a text file containing my standard setting. Each entry in
svn:ignore goes on its own line.

"Working Copy".

No. But remember you need to commit changes to properties too - they
count as changes to files, and are versioned. And when you add more
directories, they don't automatically get the properties of the parent
directory until and unless you re-set the properties (either recursively
on a higher directory than the new one, or specifically on the new one).

Most of this is in the (excellent, easily searchable) manual that ships
with TortoiseSVN, or in the svnbook which is available online - google
svnbook and it's the first hit, usually. Hell, google for svn:ignore
and you'll get lots of useful hits, since the mailing lists are indexed.
