When I think about some of the other subcommands, I notice that the
directory on which they operate is specified last, and that if this
is omitted, they operate on . by default. In your svn ignore
proposal, the directory is specified first, which is inconsistent and
doesn't allow this (probably oft-desired) default case. To fix it
would require, however, that you only specify one glob per svn ignore
invocation.
In any case, you'll have to protect the glob with quotes, else the
shell will want to expand it before passing it to svn ignore.
svn ignore '*.log'
svn ignore '*.exe' some/dir/
If you can add entries to svn:ignore this way, do we also need a way
to remove entries from there?
svn unignore '*.log'
or
svn remember '*.log'
You can, you know, always use svn propedit instead of svn propset. I
think that probably covers your intended uses without the need to
introduce a new special-case command.
