Is there a way I can delete all files from svn having a specific file type ?
I want to do this, because my global ignore list is not working, I have added *.dll file type to global ignore pattern but it is still coming in the commit dialog, and I have read somewhere that “files already committed to svn keep coming in commit dialog” if the ignore pattern is added after the files have been committed already.
Unfortunately SVN does not support permanent deletion of files from revision history.

You can try adding the full path of the specific dll file which you have commited before and want to omit. Also make sure it is deleted on the HEAD.
