Understood; I too, have started to use hg internally at Cisco. But I
still take care to set svn:ignore properly when I commit back to the
main repository, for a few reasons:
- SVN is the official SCM for OMPI; it's a choice to *not* use it
- there are still a good chunk of developers using SVN exclusively
- the svn:ignore information can be mined and used in other SCM
systems, such as hg and git (hg has some internal "ignore" problems,
but that's a different issue)
So I still think that everyone should be setting svn:ignore properly.
My $0.02...

Yo Jeff
I sympathize with your request. However, we should note that those
of us not
using subversion for our work (e.g., using Hg or GIT) may not see this
problem despite best intentions. Those system set "ignore" on a global
basis, not on a per directory basis like svn. So (a) we just don't
see any
warning about this, and (b) we don't have a way to set those
properties in
our repositories.
When we merge the work from our repository over to an svn checkout, we
typically do not build it there. This helps when we are
transitioning back
and forth between the official svn repository and our local
repository. So
we again won't see an svn:ignore issue.
I know that doesn't help any, but I think it probably explains the
majority
of what you are seeing. I'm not sure there is a good answer,
unfortunately.

Developers --
When you add a new component, framework, or anything that includes
one
or more new directories: please be sure to set the svn:ignore
property
on each new directory properly. Here's the SVN docs on the
svn:ignore
property:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn-book.html#svn.advanced.props.special.ig
nore
It is proper to ignore all automatically-generated files, such as
(but
not limited to):
*.la
*.lo
.libs
.deps
.dirstamp
Makefile
Makefile.in
static-components.h
...etc.
Thanks.
