I ran into an unexpected behavior with svn:ignore today and wanted to

Given a tree with
trunk
+ cache
+ htdocs
+ logs
+ system
I have tried putting
cd trunk
svn propset svn:ignore logs/* .
...ignore everything in the /logs/ directory, but the svn:ignore
propset is on /trunk/.
This doesn't work -- that is, log files are not ignored as expected,
but shown as new files when running the project and svn status
Do you mean that the files are shown with an A in the first column? If
so, I don't think Subversion should ignore something that has been
specifically added. Try to revert the addition, svn revert --depth
infinity logs, and then set the svn:ignore property again.
