This feature was heavily requested:
only that way can you see that there is something that needs committing
(or your attention otherwise) below a folder you're seeing in the
explorer. It doesn't matter if you have a nested layout or not.

You can't ignore something below an allowed path. And you can't ignore
versioned folders with the normal svn ignores.

Sorry, I won't implement something like this. It's way too 'expensive'
(i.e., it would take a lot more disk activity to do something like that
with properties).
