It is actually described in the manual, see
http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#filtering-out-version-control-files

The trick is to use the 'Extra options' and tell grep to not care about
directories like .svn. As also said in the manual, you need a somewhat
recent grep version (2.5.2) for the --exclude-dir option.

Either use what's mentioned in the manual:
--execlude-dir=.*
or use something more explicit (this is my default options string):

--exclude-dir=.svn --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=CVS

No need to excuse, most of us aren't native English speakers :).
