However, if you read further:
The list of patterns to ignore is also used by svn add and svn import.
Both of these operations involve asking Subversion to begin managing
some set of files and directories. Rather than force the user to pick
and choose which files in a tree she wishes to start versioning,
Subversion uses the ignore patterns to determine which files should
not be swept into the version control system as part of a larger
recursive addition or import operation.
So, if you svn:ignore *.suo, then svn add a directory that contains a
.suo file, that file will be ignored.
However, if you explicitly add test.suo, subversion will obey your
command and add it, the assumption being that if you name the exact
file you want to add, you really do want to add it, regardless of your
svn:ignore/global-ignores settings.
