Ignore files in SVN using git-svn

Question

I'm on a team who's using SVN, and I'm using git, and so I used git-svn to pull down the repository and do my changes. To take care of ignoring in git, I made a .gitignore file in the main directory of the branch. How do I accomplish the same thing with git-svn such that I tell SVN to ignore certain files and directories, like .gitignore , .git/ , etc.?

I did not pull down using SVN, so there is no .svn/ directory; I pulled using git svn fetch after initailizing the repo.

If you haven't SVN-client (and SVN working Copy) you can't set svn:ignore property , because git-svn provide only RO-access to any SVN-properties.

In common case .gitignore file (with caution) can be used as source for svn:ignore patterns in svn ps command in -F option
