'svn add foo' will *always* work, regardless of the svn:ignore setting. The property only applies for recursive adds. During your 'add', it is also quite easy to see the file was not added. So you just 'svn add foo/bar'. 'svn commit foo' will *never* work if svn:hold is set on the file. I find that awfully confusing, until I realize that somebody applied svn:hold to the file.
