SVN ignores svn:ignore during svn add

[Early Ehlinger <ea...@respower.com>]

I've been transitioning from VSS to SVN.  All in all, it's been a fabulous 
experience.

I finally figured out how to use svn:ignore so that svn status doesn't 
include targets like *.obj, *.exe, etc. etc., when listing out all of the 
files that I haven't yet added to the repository.  That's working great.

But, when I have a directory that I'm trying to add to version control 
that contains files that should be ignored, svn does the (imho) wrong 
thing:

  X:\>svn pg svn:ignore .
  *.ignore

  X:\>dir /s/b test
  X:\test\test.ignore

  X:\>svn add test
  A         test
  A         test\test.ignore

Note that --auto-props doesn't seem to affect this:

  X:\>svn --auto-props add test
  A         test
  A         test\test.ignore

My workaround (such as it is..) has been to do this:

  X:\>echo x:\test > dir.txt

  X:\>dir /s/b test | findstr -v "\.ignore$" >> dir.txt

  X:\>type dir.txt
  x:\test
  X:\test\test.noignore

  X:\>for /F %i in (dir.txt) do @svn -N add "%i"
  A         X:\test
  A         X:\test\test.noignore

Needless to say, this works, but it's a real pain in the butt.  

Am I missing something obvious?

svn:ignore only applies to files in the current directory, not those
in subdirectories.

test is a new subdirectory, it won't have an svn:ignore

auto-props doesn't apply to directories, so it cannot be used to set
svn:ignore

Set global-ignores (perhaps only temporarily) in .subversion/config
