Ignores are only on the direct children on the directory with the svn:ignore
property. So you can't have an svn:ignore at the top level of your directory
structure, you need to have svn:ignore on each directory with files or child
directories you want to ignore.

Also, using propedit is better then propset with svn:ignore given that you want
each file to be on a separate line.
