No. In this case it is about ConTeXt. Normal source files are .tex, I
also use .inc and .per. Files that are generated are: .pdf, .log, .mpd
and .tuc. When I do a svn status, I do not want to see them. That is
why I have the following svn:ignore:
    Properties on '.':
      svn:ignore
        *.log
        *.mpd
        *.pdf
        *.tuc

This prevents the files to be shown from the current directory. But
these files in the sub-directories are shown. I would like those also
not to be shown.

And I found a solution. I made a file generatedFiles with:
generatedFiles
    *.log
    *.mpd
    *.pdf
    *.tuc

And then giving the command:
    svn propset svn:ignore --recursive --file generatedFiles .
does the trick.

When adding new directories, I just have to repeat the command.
