The main problem AIUI is that svn ignores are not recursive. So a simple
translator would be doing mostly absolute ignores. Actually, this was
one of my biggest pains with svn and one of the reasons to only use
per-user ignore files. (Because at least there, they are global.)

Anyway, there is at least a possibility that when someone says "*.o" in
dir/ they really want it in dir/subdir too, but just didn't get it
configured correctly.
