How about a new option '-i' (ignore) to the 'svn add' command?

'svn add *' -> add everything ignoring svn:ignore
'svn add -i *' -> add everything sparing svn:ignore

This would imply that the choice is to be made only for the all-inclusive
'*' as a selection. Maybe I want to say

'svn add -i myfiles*'

which should spare my svn:ignore-ed *.~*~ (myfiles1.~1~ etc.)

Then the distinction is made by the user in all circumstances.

Of course, the logic of '-i' (or whatever option it may become) can be
swapped so that '-i' (ignore) would include the svn:ignore.
