But why should you be forced to version something that's essentially
private? As long as svn:ignore has to be maintained server side, it is *not*
a duplicate of the .svnignore proposal.

However, if SVN was to support the idea of a working-copy-only/nonversioned
property(a --wc-prop flag to svn ps|pe, perhaps?), it would be a different
matter. This could be useful in other situations as well - various
Subversion clients could use it for maintaining working copy-specific
metadata. I can think of at least one scenario where Ankh could find use for
this.

Was such a feature ever considered?
