Here may be a misunderstanding. svn:ignore is set by someone in a
working copy, yes, but then the change is committed to the
repository. Then other users do "svn update" and receive that change.
svn:ignore applies to only one directory in the repository, but once
it's set, and committed, and others update, then all other users get
these ignore rules too. So it is "global" in the sense that it
applies to all users. It's not "global" in the Subversion sense of
applying to all directories all the time. You still need to set
svn:ignore on new directories as you add them to the repository, and
as you decide what needs to be ignored in each directory.
