Re: Keeping stuff out of my repository?

Have you looked at the svn:ignore property? Putting this on your
directory will cause that directory to ignore files fitting that
pattern. Of course, you need to do this with each directory.

If you use a pre-commit hook to filter out these files, simply reject
the whole transaction with an explanation. The developer would then
have to delete the culprits, and then resubmit the transaction.
They'll quickly learn to follow your directions about creating client
side ignore rules.
