title: SVN tags: How not to update/checkout them?
body: <p>In many projects, I check out the complete repository and have then the standard directory structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>project/
      branches/
      tags/
      trunk/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I do an <code>svn up project</code>, it's all fine with the <code>branches</code> and <code>trunk</code> folders, but, of course, the <code>tags</code> folder is updated, too, and filled with (mostly) lots of tagged versions that are of no value for my work and only occupy disk space.</p>
  
  <p>How can I except the <code>tags</code> folder from an <code>svn update</code>? Especially, how can I do this <em>locally</em> only, that is, without committing that back to the repository, as a solution with the <code>svn:ignore</code> keyword would do?</p>
