        Thanks again, I'm learning.

        I appreciate the time put in to help me and I really don't want
to cost you more time, so I have a couple of yes/no questions.

        So the only time to use svnadmin create without having a
dedicated server would be a single user (like me at home)?

Yes. You only use svnadmin to create repositories and a few other
actions that operate directly on the disk. That means you are either
managing a server or in the case of a single user, creating a personal
repository on the same machine you do development.

        As for as the dll extensions, those are not a concern. I am
talking about ide setting files.

As is noted in the book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.htm
l

There is a global ignores that can be configured per client. This lets
you just ignore all files with a specific extension. I do not know what
the IDE configuration files are the you want to ignore but if they have
a unique extension, this is one option. The other option is the
svn:ignore property. This has to be set on the parent folder that might
contain the files you want to ignore. You can also ignore an entire
folder, so if all your build output goes to a folder named "build" you
can just ignore that entire folder.

          And if we have a project made up of 44 repositories I need to
enter the command 44 times, no eaiser way, right?

The global ignores are a per client setting and would apply to all
repositories. You just have to make sure all your users set it up. The
svn:ignore property is set on folders within the repository.
