RE: Suggestion for recursive ignore

Of course, you're right. The tree has first to be browsed upwards to find the properties, and then downwards to ignore the corresponding files.
To my mind, svn:ignore-recursive was something very basic: svn go upwards the directory tree to find the svn:ignore-recursive property and stops as soon it finds it. All it has to ignore is specified in this property.
By extending the svn:ignore syntax as you suggested, svn would handle ignore-patterns specified at any levels (at least, this is how I understand it). It's more powerful and may be more intuitive, but it's more difficult to implement.
