How do I make svn ignore unversion files only in my working copy?

duplicate: Ignore SVN ignore... possible?

Suppose my working copy is littered with unversioned files that I don't want to delete. I want svn to ignore these files, but I do not want to add them to the ignore list, because I don't want to pollute other people's working copy with my ignore list. Is this possible in svn?

Clarification: I'm not sure why, but people keep advising me to edit my global configs; however, this is not what I'm what I'm looking for. What I want to do is target specific files in a particular working copy. Is this even possible??

Yes, the user configuration file can contain the global-ignores option which is exactly what you're looking for.

The location of this file varies by platform. From the documentation:

On Unix-like systems, this area appears as a directory named .subversion in the user's home directory. On Win32 systems, Subversion creates a folder named Subversion, typically inside the Application Data area of the user's profile directory (which, by the way, is usually a hidden directory). However, on this platform the exact location differs from system to system, and is dictated by the Windows registry.
