svn:ignore and svn add *

Hello,

I have a directory tree like this:

bin/
buildout.cfg
buildout.cfg.old
develop-debug/
develop-products/
eggs/
parts/
wiki/
bootstrap.py
datatransp.ldif
develop-eggs
downloads
EXTERNALS.txt
products/
src/
var/

After some hours working, I want to add everything I added or modified
inside these dirs except for:
 bin/
 develop-debug/
 eggs/
 parts/
 wiki/
 var/

So, what I did was to "svn propedit svn:externals . " and added this to the
list:
 bin/
 develop-debug/
 eggs/
 parts/
 wiki/
 var/

However, when I run svn add *, all these dirs and its sub-contents get added
to the repository. What am I doing wrong?

Note: With svn add * my purpose is to add all the new files created (but
those on the ignore list). Then I do a svn commit to commit the
modifications in the existing files.

Also, is there a way to undo the last operations you did on a working copy
(in this case, I added a bunch of unecessary data)?

I don't use Tortoise, only CLI tools.

Thanks,

Marcelo.
