Sorry, missed this. I did something like svn propedit svn:ignore 'thumbs.db './' -R from the command line. This resulted in a 'svn:ignore + thumbs.db on every directory in forrest. Are you saying I only need do it on root and the rest will inherit? I'm worried this will be a massive looking commit for so liitle gain. But if nothing is done, we could be manually deleting thumbs.db files forever.
