SVN – Ignore contents of a directory
To ignore the contents of a directory in Subversion, do this:
cd $directory_in_question svn propset svn:ignore '*' . svn ci -m "Ignoring anything in $directory_in_question"
This ignores files and subdirectories in the directory and ignores any new added nodes to the directory after the commit. The quotes around the * character ensure this is what happens.

Charly said,
Thanks a lot for Helping out. Very much appreciated. I’ve tried everything from:
svn ps svn:ignore “./directory_in_question” .
svn ps svn:ignore “./directory_in_question/” .
svn ps svn:ignore “./directory_in_question/*” .
svn ps svn:ignore “directory_in_question” .
svn ps svn:ignore “directory_in_question/” .
svn ps svn:ignore “directory_in_question/*” .
and nothing worked. I’ve also tried the -R option. Maybe I’ve got the syntax wrong. But yours worked perfectly fine.
Chapeau!
