title: SVN ignore - "not under version control"
body: <p>I have a directory structure that looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>components
    |_ticker
      |_sass-utils
        |_ ..
      |_ticker.css
      |_ticker.sass
      |_ ..
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are several files I don't want under SVN version control. <em>components</em> is already committed but <em>ticker</em> is not yet committed and <code>svn status</code> currently states:</p>
  
  <pre><code>?       components/ticker
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I <code>cd</code> into the <em>ticker</em> directory then try: <code>svn propedit svn:ignore .</code> (which is what I tried from this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/5374616/997596">SO solution</a>) I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn: E200005: 'components/ticker' is not under version control
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I believe that once I <code>svn add components/ticker</code>, files under <code>ticker</code> can no longer be ignored.</p>
  
  <p>So how do I ignore files that are not under version control yet?</p>
