I've been trying to ignore particular files and directories in order to prevent local modifications being submitted to repository.

The problem I am having is that once a file has been committed to a repository, you cannot then ignore it. 

svn propset svn:ignore '*' ./stuff

If the files in the ./stuff folder have already been added and committed, they are not ignored for future commits. I find I often want to ignore particular files at the beginning of a project but cannot as these directories are not working copies so i'm doing

svn add *
svn revert fileIWantToIgnore.ext
svn propset svn:ignore 'fileIWantToIgnore.ext' .

This is a bit of a laborious process. What would be your suggestions?

Delete the files you wanted to ignore but were committed. Commit the version with the files deleted. Restore the files to your source, and add the property svn:ignore now.

It's not clean but useful

That is what it is supposed to do, but you could try these.

Create a pre-commit hook script that reject the commit when a specific property is being added. You can then add this property to files in the working copy to prevent commits.

TortoiseSVN will exclude files in the special changelist "ignore-on-commit". However, this is not honored by the SVN command-line client.

SVN: Is there a way to mark a file as "do not commit"?
