Pattern for excluding a directory in global-ignores

If I want to avoid importing all directories named, for example, temp, then adding */temp/* to my list of global ignores does *not* work. This is counter-intuitive because *nix shell commands usually accept */temp/* as a valid filename pattern. However, I discovered that simply adding temp to the list of global ignores does do the trick. What are all of the valid pathname patterns that can be used in svn:global-ignores and svn:ignore? This should be included in the Subversion book. For example, can I exclude logs only if it's in temp, i.e. temp/logs? Best regards, Mike
