svn:ignore doesn't stop anything from being checked out or updated.
svn:ignore is used to prevent files from appearing with a ? in the svn
status output, and being added via svn add <directory> (with the usual
caveat of using * and shell expansion) or svn import.
If something is already versioned , svn:ignore is ignored for it.
