Re: set svn:ignore on all unversioned files

Could you just pass the result of "svn status" through a set of
filters to use as a file input to propset?

NOTE: I'm not familiar with the linux shell. With luck someone will
leap in and point out my incompetence ;)

This should ignore the unversioned files in the current folder.

  svn status --non-recursive . | grep ? | sed "s/\? *//" > ignore_file
  svn propset svn:ignore --file ignore_file .
  rm ignore_file

Realistically you probably want to review the ignore_file contents
first, introduce any generalisations and remove any excess, then set
the property.
