The problem I see with .gitignore files is that they are likely to run
out of sync with the svn:ignore attributes.

Not sure whether this helps in this special case, but there is an
alternative to a .gitignore file: the file .git/info/exclude in the
local git repository. Here a developer can add patterns for files to be
ignored as well. If a svn repository was cloned with git, the file can
be automatically populated from svn:ignore attributes using the command
git svn show-ignore > .git/info/exclude
