Sorry, but that's not right either. svn:ignore is used by everything
but it affects only unversioned files.
TSVN Commit will ignore unversioned items that match the ignore
patterns and not show them at all in the list of commitables.
TSVN Add will ignore unversioned child items that match the ignore
patterns. But if you right click on an ignored item you still have the
opportunity to add it to SVN. If you add it then it is no longer
unversioned and no longer ignored.
