If this were me, I would have an svn:ignore on my Project1 folder that
ignores the bin and obj folder. That would cause everything inside those
folders to also be ignored.
For other folders, I could then add specific file patterns only if needed.
Odds are I would have all my build output in bin and obj though so probably
not a lot else to ignore.
What if I set this property recursively “svn:ignore *.sou *proj.user bin
> obj”? I know it will get applied to many directories unnecessarily.

I do not think it will cause any performance issues at all. That said, it
seems like those ignores would only need to be applied on the project root
folder. If you have bin and obj folders being created all over the place
it seems like you ought to fix that.

Setting svn:ignore is pretty much a one-time deal. That is why you are not
going to find many tools to automate. There is no payoff in spending the
time to write such a tool. I personally do not like seeing the property
set where it is not needed or with values that are not needed. It does not
cause performance problems, it just adds "noise". I do not believe
manually setting up the property is a lot of work. Even if it is 44
projects. I would just set it up and deal with it as needed.
