How to setup my Subversion so it ignores target files generated by Maven on Linux? I don't want to commit them into SVN.
How do I do this on Linux and Mac command line?

To ignore files in subversion you want to set the svn:ignore property. You can see more here http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html about half way down.
To ignore the target folder from your project folder run
svn propset svn:ignore target .
Alternatively to edit a list of ignored files folders run
svn propedit svn:ignore .

Before committing code to the Subversion repository we always set the svn:ignore property on the directory to prevent some files and directories to be checked in. We always exclude the IDE project files and the target/ directory. Instead of keeping all of the excludes in mind all the time it's useful to put them all in a file and reference the file with the -F option:
svn propset svn:ignore -F .svnignore .
Put this file in the project folder
.svnignore
target/*

is there one file in root of project (/.svnignore ) or we must set it for each Subproject in svn ? – issamux Aug 13 '14 at 10:00

I find a simple way that you can add it to svn:ignore in eclipse IDE after adding the target folder to revision and then restoring it.

If you use eclipse you should add the folder to "ignored resources" (window > preferences > team > ignore resources)! – Grim Jun 15 '16 at 09:04
