Subversion / Tortoise / asp.net - Ignore and Non-versioned

I'm probably reading too much into ignore, but other than not showing up in the list when you commit, are there any other feature/benefits associated with ignoring a file?

files to ignore:

  1. files generated during a build (local properties, byte code, etc)
  2. files generated during runtime (log files)
  3. svn meta files

imagine NOT being able to ignore all of this

It also doesn't clutter your svn status list. But anyway, not commiting files to the repo that don't need to be versioned (e.g. because they are created by the application, or they are settings files) is a pretty useful feature by itself, I'd think.
