hm,
this means that 'svn status *' _does_ list ignored files.

so 'svn add *' really is analogous to 'svn status *'.

the problem is that there's no 'add' operation that's analogous to
a no-arg 'svn status'.

certainly it seems likely that people will want to do an 'add all
files except those marked svn:ignore'. to some of us at least, it seems
to be a more common case than the case currently covered by 'svn add *'.

it sounds a little weird, but maybe 'svn add' with no arguments should
do this?
