Answer 1

The subversion global-ignores contains collection of file patterns.

The subversion client checks these patterns agains the names of the files that are candidates for addition to the version control and unversioned files.

In your case if you are still seeing the files bin and object files in your root folder at the repository(not the working copy). This means you have added them to version control and after successful addition to version control you have added these patterns of bin and obj to the global-ignores list.

Now you would need to manually un-versioned them first and then do your normal commits and the files with the pattern bin and obj will not be added.

It's not like your description. the /DataEntryDAL/obj has been just created after set global-ignores – Giuditta
