I'm sorry, you're right about deleting the file first, but you're
completely missing the point. Let's go through this statement step by
step: Yes, he could add the file to the ignore list, nothing wrong with
that. It will however get checked out, even if it is on the ignore list
(either one). And that's what's wrong with that statement. Get it?

Easy: Use the extended context menu item "delete (keep local) ...", put
the file on the svn:ignore list and commit the changes. You can find
this in the documentation here
<http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-howto-unversion.html>.
Maybe you should have a look into it ...
