GitHub issue with "ignore"

Since GoogleCode are in process of being closed, I as many other users
moved to GitHub.

In general the move went swiftly but then I encountered a major issue using
TortuiseSVN with GitHub.

The problem manifest itself after you add file or folder (usually "obj" and
"bin" folders) to ignore or recursive ignore.
After that you can't commit (changes to) such folder.
I am getting "Invalid PROPPATCH property" error.

After some research, it looks like the problem is related to fact that
HitHub does not support "propset .ignore" at all.

As result working with TSVN becomes very inconvenient forcing me to move to
Git or some opther tool.
I afraid many others will have the same problem.

So basically we have a several issues:

1. Not being able to ignore files (maybe can be worked around by detecting
github and issuing gitignore?)

2. Not being able to commit at all after adding file/folder to ignore.
(Maybe can be at least detected either somehow by protocol or at least by
presence of "https://github.com/" and disable "ignore otion or to have a
option in settings to disable it, in order to avoid user confusion).

Thank you,
