Merged svn:ignore property does not have intended effect

Hi

I wonder if someone could explain the following behaviour please?

On my trunk I have set the svn:ignore property of folder MSVC to ignore 'Debug'. This has the expected result that svn status does not report folder Debug and its contents.

I then merged that change into my branch. Folder MSVC of the branch now has that ignore value but svn status still reports files in Debug:

C:\<mybranch>MSVC>svn proplist -v
Properties on '.':
  svn:ignore
    *.ncb
    *.suo
    *.user
    Debug
    Release

C:\<mybranch>MSVC>status
? Debug\<myfile>.pdb
? Debug\<myfile>.exe
etc.

Best regards
David
