Best general SVN Ignore Pattern?

What is the best (or as good as possible) general SVN ignore pattern to use?

There are a number of different IDE, editor, compiler, plug-in, platform, etc. specific files and some file types that "overlap" (i.e. desirable for some types projects and not for others).

There are however, a large number of file types that you just never want included in source control automatically regardless the specifics of your development environment.

The answer to this question would serve as a good starting point for any project - only requiring them to add the few environment specific items they need. It could be adapted for other Version Control Systems (VCS) as well.

I'll add my own two cents to this question:

I use the following SVN ignore pattern with TortoiseSVN and Subversion CLI for native C++, C#/VB.NET, and PERL projects on both Windows and Linux platforms. It works well for me!

Formatted for copy and paste:

*.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store thumbs.db Thumbs.db *.bak *.class *.exe *.dll *.mine *.obj *.ncb *.lib *.log *.idb *.pdb *.ilk *.msi* .res *.pch *.suo *.exp *.*~ *.~* ~*.* cvs CVS .CVS .cvs release Release debug Debug ignore Ignore bin Bin obj Obj *.csproj.user *.user

Formatted for readability:

*.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej            .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store thumbs.db            Thumbs.db *.bak *.class *.exe *.dll            *.mine *.obj *.ncb *.lib *.log            *.idb *.pdb *.ilk *.msi* .res *.pch *.suo            *.exp *.*~ *.~* ~*.* cvs  CVS .CVS .cvs            release Release debug Debug            ignore Ignore bin Bin obj  Obj            *.csproj.user *.user

Based on Burly's ignore pattern, I have added ReSharper to the ignore list

*.o *.lo .la ## .*.rej .rej .~ ~ .# .DS_Store thumbs.db Thumbs.db *.bak *.class *.exe *.dll *.mine *.obj *.ncb *.lib *.log *.idb *.pdb *.ilk .msi .res *.pch *.suo *.exp .~ .~ ~. cvs CVS .CVS .cvs release Release debug Debug ignore Ignore bin Bin obj Obj *.csproj.user *.user _ReSharper.* *.resharper.user

My ignore pattern for Visual Studio:

*/bin */obj */Release */Debug *.suo *.err *.log *.obj *.bin *.dll *.exe *.LOG *.user *.pdb [tT]emp [tT]empPE Ankh.Load thumbs.db *.resharper *.vspscc *.vsssccc *.scc */_ReSharper* */_ReSharper.* bin obj *.resharperoptions *.db *.bak *_ReSharper* *.snk logs output TestResults

The pattern depends on which operating system you're using.

On Linux, you'll want to block *.o, *.so, *.a, and *.la to begin with. You may also want to block *~ (backup file from editing) and #*# (emacs backup from a crash).

On Windows, you'll want *.obj, *.lib, and *.dll at the very least.

Any other files you need to block depend on your IDE, editor, and compiler.
