No it shouldn't. Recursive means recursive. The problem is that
svn:ignore is a subversion property, so setting it recursively will only
set it on child folders which are already added to subversion. There is
no way to set this property on a folder which has not yet been versioned
because the folder simply doesn't have the .svn directory in which to
set it.

The other way to tackle this is to add 'obj' to your global ignore list.
However, anyone else who checks out the project will have to do the
same.
