Why are you adding the .svnignore to version control? You can always
'svn propedit' the svn:ignore property on the directory.

As the error says, it's an "out of date" problem when committing.
Philip already explained that propchanges can only be committed to
directories that are fully up-to-date. So always 'svn up' before
committing a dir propchange.

There's an explanation of this in the book, at the end of chapter 2.
