Summary: 'svn add --force .' added files despite 'propset svn:ignore -R'
being set. Perhaps I'm not getting something.

Hello,
I'm trying to understand better and leverage the most out of the svn:ignore
property in svn. I've read that svn:ignore, when recurisvely set on
directories through propset, permits files in those directories to not be
included when: svn add --force . is executed. [1]
I've had trouble replicating this. I've found that there was a problem with
the svn add command not ignoring files in directories when svn:ignore was
set recurisively on directories in the past: [2]
I'm using I'm using svn version 1.2.3 (r15833) on debian, similar to what
this author uses: [3] . However,the final thread post doesn't indicate
whether or not our version permits the svn:ignore from restricting svn adds
of files within directories, though it seems likely it our version is upto
date for such functionality ("apt-cache showpkg subversion" indicates this
is the most recent version in the testing distribution).
The following is a log of my input/output (~120 lines) which attempts to
setup similar parameters to the bug report [2] link. I go from the steps of
generating a svn repository all the way to svn:add'ing, witnessing that svn
add added files despite the svn:ignore property being set on directories.
I might be misunderstanding something, so hopefully my log will make things
more evident.
