In the directory where you have project.xml etc:

 $ svn propset svn:ignore . target

I have a special file that I use when setting the standard exclued which I
use like this:

 $ svn propset svn:ignore . -F ~/bin/svnignores

My svnignores file contains:

target
*~
*.log
.classpath
.project
*.ipr
*.iws
*.iml

If you're a CVS oldtimer you'll probably see that setting the "svn:ignore"
property on the directory is equals to having a .cvsignores file in the
directory.
