I tried this before —- in subversion (and darcs) you can not ignore  
version controlled files.

Taking the file out of version control is not an option —- I need to  
have a few project-local variables set. Separating project settings  
and window settings does not take away the advantage you are  
describing -— it augments it. You can keep the project,  
“.tmsettings”, in version control and just ignore the user specific  
settings -— “.tmuser”.

project.tmproj/
   project.tmsettings
   someuser.tmuser

This is other person's problem if their world comes crashing down at  
sight of an unknown file. ;)
