I guess you don't mean "update" but "commit"? Because update doesn't
have such an option at all.

I'm sorry, but there just isn't a good recipe against stupidity. If we
would make the "show unversioned files" deactivated the first time
(which we had some time ago) then people will start (again) complain
that they missed to add important files because of that.
You just have to tell your users that certain files must not be added to
version control. And you can control that yourself to a great degree:
- organize your project so that temp files/result files get created in a
separate folder (don't just keep the default values of your IDE, change
them accordingly).
- once you've done that, add those folder to the ignore list (set the
svn:ignore property). That way those files won't show up even if "show
unversioned files" is checked.

Can you please forward the following text to your administrator? Tell
him/her it's a much better and most important a really honest disclaimer:
