I'm not sure of the details of the Windows XP command prompt, but I'm
guessing that it is expanding the * before subversion ever sees it.
What do you get if you run 'svn proplist -v .' after running the command
you just mentioned? To fix the problem, try either quoting the
* (svn propset svn:ignore '*' .) or using svn propedit instead of svn
propset.
