svn:ignore only applies to the immediate children of the folder you
set it on. If you want to ignore doc/api, then that implies you want
the doc folder itself in the repository. Add that folder to
Subversion, and then set the svn:ignore property on it to have a value
of "api". This causes it to ignore the api folder and of course
everything inside it.
