Thanks to Jacob Kaplan-Moss

Also I tend to put .svn in since we use several SCM-s where I work.

Keeping an svn repo in the same tree as your git repo!? What kind of monster would do such a thing? –

@Daenyth giggle, well not really, but I tend to find some leftover .svn directories lying around if I get a component from another source (specially in older components) and also I'm quite lazy so I sometimes copy checkouts instead of exporting stuff from SVN. I once even saw a guy actually committing leftover .svn dirs in GIT. You can run into all kind of weird things when working with silly people. –

You should probably put the *.svn in your .global_gitignore, not in individual projects. –

Might want to consider venv/* too if you use virtualenv. Virtualenv lets you set up a "separate" python environment for each project, so libraries don't overlap or conflict. Also helps prevent the "broken but works on my computer" problem. –

@SilentSteel IME venvs are stored in a central location on the system and not in the actual directory –
