I have to confess that svn is sometimes out of my reach, but here's a simple example [1].
At the trunk level of the jdo project there is an .svnignore containing target. One level down (api), there is no .svnignore but there is a target. The target directory has svn status of "I", which means ignored. I always assumed that .svnignore was applied recursively. I don't know how it works. Maybe I'm using an old out-of-date version of svn (August 2013).
