The other solution is to set the svn:ignore property for each of these
folders to *
You have to do it for each tmp folder, but it will definitely work.

Global ignores seem to be aimed mainly at filenames - the svn book
doesn't mention slashes at all, nor give any examples for how to do
that, so I guess it is a feature not well tested in that way. I have
mailed the svn user list for clarification on this.

Silly question, but why do you want the tmp folders versioned in the
first place? Can you get your build system to create them if they
don't exist?
