You would get a long way just by trying things out and seeing what
works. Or hover the mouse over the box to see a tooltip.

Include/Exclude patterns are paths, which can optionally have a * at
the end to affect all subdirs. But they are not (AFAIK) as flexible as
the globbing rules used in global ignores, so you cannot specify
C:\Projects\*\bin. I don't know your WC layout, but I would expect you
have to add a rule for each bin you want to show the overlays for.

You are aware that the include/exclude rules only affect the areas
that show subversion status as icon overlays? They do not exclude or
include areas from version control. For that you need to use global
ignore patterns, or the svn:ignore property on folders.
