You do need an appropriate section header before that, as you tried

I think trying to set svn:ignore may have been the wrong advice,
since auto-props only work for files, but you would need to set the
svn:ignore property of directories. You could set svn:ignore = * on
each directory in your project manually and commit that, but that
would probably be a pain, as you'd have to remember to do it for each
new directory you create. Making auto-props work for directories is
an open feature request:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1989
How about instead setting global-ignores? With this in my config file:
[miscellany]
global-ignores = *
I get the result that I think you want:
$ svnadmin create /tmp/repo
$ mkdir /tmp/import
$ cd /tmp/import
$ touch foo bar baz
$ svn import . file:///tmp/repo -m ""
$ svn ls file:///tmp/repo
$
Nothing gets imported. Everything gets ignored. The same would apply
to svn add and svn status.
I was going to tell you that it would still be easy to import a
project initially, since you could pass the --no-ignore option to svn
import, but I had some trouble getting that to work, and sent a
separate message to the list about that.
