Ok, so you know that it's up to date. But Subversion doesn't ;)

When you do a commit, the revision numbers only of those files/folders
you commit get changed in your working copy. That's for performance
reasons, because otherwise the whole working copy would have to be
scanned and changed to reflect the new revision number (that's also the
reason why the keyword $REV$ doesn't work as most people expect and the
reason for the SubWCRev utility we provide).
So yes, everytime you change a folder by modifying/adding a property to
it (which is what 'add to ignore list' does by setting the svn:ignore
property) you have to update first so that the revision stored in the
working copy for that folder get's updated.
