ignore does not work on files/directories already in the repository. It
will also not work if you explicitly add a file matching an ignored
pattern. The ignore patterns prevent _unversioned_ files/diretories
(matching an ignore pattern) from being presented as 'unversioned file'.

If you want your filed to truly be ignored, you must svn delete it (and
commit).
