What do you mean it is set? Set to what? svn:ignore does not mean ignore
the item it is set on. Typically a folder would have a property of
svn:ignore with a value of "bin" or "classes", and that would tell
Subversion to ignore the bin or classes folder located beneath the folder
the property is set on.

Likewise, if this is an svn:externals then that would mean the property is
set on vendor. Something like:

svn:externals with a value of login_engine url://to/login_engine/project

svn:ignore exists to ignore things you never want in the repository, such
as compiled objects. You can't use it to ignore something that is already
in the repository.
