I have similar problem:
I want to ignore all the .swp files that vim creates while I'm editing a
source file.
I set svn:ignore to '*.swp' (in directory MyApp) but swp files in
subdirs still get displayed (swp files in MyApp/ dir, instead, are
correctly ignored).

To better explain the situation, below is the cut-n-paste of a sample
session:

------ begin cut-n-paste ----------
-> cd MyApp
-> svn propget svn:ignore .
*.swp

[# in another terminal, 'cd MyApp' then 'vim lib/MyApp/C/Menu.pm' ]

-> svn status .
? lib/MyApp/C/.Menu.pm.swp

[# in another terminal, 'cd MyApp' then 'vim MyApp/Makefile.PL' ]

-> svn status .
? lib/MyApp/C/.Menu.pm.swp

------ end cut-n-paste ----------

It seems to me that svn:ignore has effect only in the directory on which
the property is set, i.e. it does not act recusively.
