RE: How to set svn:ignore automatically in all subdirs?

I would try to set the output directory of your compiler to another directory and exclude that whole tree in one. Like Maven does with Java projects:

project
  `- src
      `- java
  `- target
      `- classes

In this way you can exclude the whole target directory from your Subversion repository without ever having to set multiple svn:ignore properties.

Hi list

I am having a litle problem with a new repository. I did an import of the stuff that should reside in the repo. After compiling I get of course a lot of binarys and files I did not have before. I want to mark them with svn:ignore in the subdir they reside in. It is a bit of a hassle to go into each directory and do a svn st to see which files are unknown to subversion and do a svn propset svn:ingnore to them that I get a clean svn st in the end.
Is there an elegant way for doing this? Like a little script that parses all subdirs and adds the properties to these dirs? Before I am writing my own skript (linux) I would like to know if some one out there already did and could share the knowledge or if I missed something that comes already with subversion.

Regards
