If the file is not already in the repository, that pattern should ignore
it. Try the command line client too. But note that the ignore pattern is
case-sensitive, so if the actual extension is .ADL2, then your pattern
will not work.

Well TSVN does nothing. You are adding it to the subversion config file
and it is subversion which uses it. This should work provided the case
is correct. There is a hierarchy of places which SVN looks for config
information, so there is a small possibility that it is being overridden
from somewhere else. See this FAQ article:

No, that won't work. SVN doesn't search up the hierarchy.

Yes, that is correct.

You are right, that is exactly what happens. One of the discussion
subjects within subversion at the moment is inherited properties, which
are not yet implemented. Whether this particular one will be made
inheritable I do not know.
