On Windows systems this is in "AppData\Roaming\Subversion" within the user's home directory; on Linux systems this is in ".subversion" within the user's home directory. These are global per user, not per working copy.

As of Subversion 1.8, you can configure svn:global-ignores in the repository as well.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html
"Subversion 1.8 provides a more powerful version of the svn:ignore property, the svn:global-ignores property. Like the svn:ignore property,svn:global-ignores can only be set on a directory and contains file patterns Subversion uses to determine ignorable objects.[21] These ignore patterns are also appended to any patterns defined in the global-ignores runtime configuration option together with any svn:ignore defined patterns. Unlike svn:ignore however, the svn:global-ignores property is inheritable [22] and applies to all paths under the directory on which the property is set, not just the immediate children of the directory."
