svn:log is a revision property, so you can change it anytime on the
revision using "svn propedit --revprop -r REV svn:log" assuming you
have installed a pre-revprop-change hook permitting such a change.

But svn:ignore is a file property, so you cannot change it, except by
editing the dump file.

If you have the dump file of the old 1.4 repository, and you are
trying to load it into your 1.6 repository, then you will need to
modify the dump file before loading it.

John's script only affects revision properties, not file properties,
so it won't help you, without some modification.

Possibly you could use svndumptool to help you fix the svn:ignore
properties in your dump file. (See its transform-prop command.)
