'svn add foo' will *always* work, regardless of the svn:ignore
setting. The property only applies for recursive adds. During your
'add', it is also quite easy to see the file was not added. So you
just 'svn add foo/bar'.

'svn commit foo' will *never* work if svn:hold is set on the file. I
find that awfully confusing, until I realize that somebody applied
svn:hold to the file.
