How to keep IDE configuration files out of code repository?

Question

How can I keep IDE configuration files out of a (svn) repository? The only way I can think of is with very specific "add" and "commit" commands.

Answer 1

Exclude (ignore) the *.suo and *.user files.

Answer 2

Since the question is tagged with eclipse, I'll speculate that you're perhaps using a plugin.

I use Subversive, and with that, the Windows=>Team=>Preferences=>Ignored Resources tab gives you the ability to filter.

Answer 3

Add the files to the svn:ignore property. This has the advantage of being part of the project configuration for everyone that checks it out, not just you.

Answer 4

Don't check them in (svn add) in the first place.
