When you check out a repository and create a new Zend Studio project from it you will find three new hidden files in the root of your svn repository.

To hide these from within Zend Studio, right click the Project, go down to Team, and select “Set Property”

The property you want to set is:

svn:ignore

And the files you want to add in the value field are:

.buildpath
.project
.settings

Now commit your changes and the property for svn:ignore will be sent to the SubVersion repository, you’ll no longer get those hidden files in your repository.
