I have a test folder which contains 1 versioned file.
In that folder create a new text file "New Text Document.txt"
Right click on file and select add to ignore list->New Text Document.txt
Confirmation dialog appears.
Check properties of parent folder, svn:ignore includes that file.
Right click on file again, add to ignore list is still there.
...BUT...
After I commit, that option goes away.

More difficult than I thought. Also, it may match on multiple keys, but
you can't know that. I would suggest _only_ offering the obvious
choices. If it's more complicated, then you have to use the properties
tab. This is mainly to help out people who added files by mistake, so in
that case it would have to be specific filename or *.ext that was added
by mistake.
I suggest:
If there is an exact filename match in svn:ignore, offer that
(Else) if there is an extension match in svn:ignore, offer that
Else don't offer the menu at all.
I am not sure about the first Else. If it matches an exact filename and
wildcard extension, should you offer both? I think not. If a specific
filename was added, then it is very likely that _only_ that specific
filename should be removed.
