I see in the settings you can specify patterns to exclude files from check-ins. But how would you add to include folders bin and obj?

Add this in the same place you exclude the files:

*/bin */obj

I use Settings\Global Ignore Pattern. This is what I have added to the default list:

*.suo *.user bin obj Debug Release _UpgradeReport_Files *.dbmdl

The svn:ignore property will ignore matching files and folders. This is what I have to exclude bin and obj folders [Bb]in [Oo]bj Make sure to check the "Apply Property recursively"

Right-click on the bin directory and select TortoiseSVN > Add to Ignore List > FolderName. Then do the same thing for obj.

The downside to doing it this way is that you'll have to do it for every project you have. –  Brandon Apr 22 '09 at 19:20
