Thanks for your helpful response. There is some inconsistency somewhere because when I do an "SVN commit" in the subdirectory, the svn:ignore is not being used. If what you described is true, an "ignoreme.txt" file in a subdirectory should not show up in the commit window. I've attached screen captures to demonstrate this inconsistency.
Also, there is an svn:global-ignores property that is explicitly documented to be inherited by subdirectories. Why would that exist if svn:ignore was supposed to be inherited? Here's a link that shows the two properties: https://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.html I look forward to more feedback from you.
