<p>I would like TortoiseSVN (1.5.3) to ignore certain folders, their contents and certain other files wherever they might appear in my directory hierarchy but I cannot get the global ignore string right.</p>

<p>Whatever I do, it either adds to much or ignores too much</p>

<p>What is the correct 'Global ignore pattern' to ignore....</p>

<pre><code>Folders : bin obj release compile 
Files   : *.bak *.user *.suo 
</code></pre>

<p>Update: To help clarify... yes I am using this on windows. </p>

Currently I have the following in my Global Ignore Pattern:
```
```
bin obj CVS .cvsignore *.user *.suo Debug Release *.pdb test.* Thumbs.db
```
```
Works really well to ignore several hidden or temp files/folders....
So for your specific requirements:
Folders:
```
bin obj release compile
```
Files:
```
*.bak *.user *.suo
```
I would use:
```
```
bin obj release compile *.bak *.user *.suo
```
```
