Tortoise - is it possible to ignore new folder before committing it?

Viewed 12444

I just added a class library project to my .NET solution. When I built it, it created the bin and obj folders, which I want to exclude from version control.

However, Tortoise won't let me ignore the folders before the first commit. It gives the following message.

Cannot add bin to the ignore list!

I have to check the whole lot in, and then choose Delete and add to ignore list for the two folders.

How do I prevent them being checked in at all, and ensure Tortoise knows to ignore them?
