Only you know what files you want to ignore, so you should look at
the list of files produced by "svn st", specifically those lines
beginning with "?", and decide if and how you want to ignore them. Do
you want to ignore specific named files? Files with a certain
extension? Files with a certain prefix? All files? Only you know
this; a script can't decide it for you.

But, this might be a start:

svn st | sed -n -E 's%^\?.{6}([^/]+)$%\1%p' | sed -E 's%^.*(\..*)$%*
\1%' | sort | uniq

Run this, put its output in an editor, tweak it to your liking, then
set it as the directory's svn:ignore property.
