Just confirmed my understanding, that once files are removed (svn
deleted) from rev control then those files can be ignored.
And the process is not that hard.
Svn Delete them, Commit, Check for modifications, Tick show unversioned
files, right click each, Ignore them, (they disappear from list) and Commit.
Bingo, you only see what you want to see. Oh, and untick show
unversioned when done.

So for .DCUs you only have to ignore one for them all to disappear from
the list.

And if some files e.g. .CFG files are important to QA or whoever then
they probably should be of interest to everybody so the know when
something they just did changed the config.

I'm just not comfortable with the idea I could locally hide a revision
controlled file, make local changes and commit without knowing that in
advance of the commit. That is the feature Seth is asking for.
