svn:ignore supports patterns, so you would have to add pattern matching
code. Also, you would not be able to use the existing UI for adding to
the svn:ignore property because if you do, you have no way of knowing from
the commit dialog what the property looks like. You would also have to be
sure that the folder where the property is set gets added to the dialog as
a commit of the property change.

I am not aware of any documentation of Eclipse UI standards and if it
truly is forbidden then I am sure that there isn't any API to add the menu
in the first place. My point was that of the UI choices, that is the best
one.
