I recently began working on a large project that contains a huge number of files. For some reason (which I don't understand), the team decided not to use svn:ignore and, as such, each developer needs to provide his or her own set of ignore parameters.
I'm using the TortoiseSVN client, and there is a way to do this (using the global ignore property), except it would then apply across ALL other projects that I have checked out which I don't want.
Is there any way to ignore files on a per-project basis without using the svn:ignore parameter? Thanks for any help.
Edit: I wanted to specify that svn:ignore is not an option. The solution would have to be something locally.

TortoiseSVN can recursively set the
svn:ignore
property for an entire directory subtree. So if your repository is organized in a way that each project has its own folder, you can apply a differentsvn:ignore
pattern for each project.Check the "Apply property recursively" box when setting the value.
