The svn:ignore property only applies to the directory it is set on, so
what you have done is:
ignore application/classes (doesn't exist)
ignore project1/classes (exists but is already in the repository)
ignore project1/classes/classes (doesn't exist)

What you actually want to ignore is project1/classes/* which has to be
set directly on project1/classes
So you have to do that individually for each projectX/classes folder.
