Ignore lists don't work quite right in client/server mode. The
fundamental problem is that the client and the server each have
different ignore lists built from different combinations of sources and
anything that is ignored by either list ends up being ignored. This
works OK if you just add things to the list, but if you try to reset the
ignore list, the reset usually doesn't work since it usually just resets
one of the lists and the other list causes it to continue to be ignored.
Fixing this requires changing the client/server protocol to allow all of
the ignore list information to be communicated between the client and
server, and changing lots of code. Doing it so that the client and
server will both continue to interoperate with older versions makes it
even more challenging, so don't expect a quick fix.
