Hi Z W,
[ Small meta-suggestion: please drop the "quick question" suffix from
your future posts. It's distracting, and often the answers aren't that
quick to come up with :-). And because of this, you scare away some
potential helpers, when some of us think "hey, I have to think more
than 10 seconds about this 'quick question', so I'm probably not the
right guy ... perhaps other list-people will answer this one". ]
That said, the answer to your current question is straightforward:
what you want to do won't work. svn:ignore doesn't work for items you
put in subversion, it's specifically for ignoring "unversioned items"
(avoiding to pick them up for addition to subversion).
See: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html
