+      <para>Subversion's support for ignorable file patterns extends
+        only to the one-time process of adding currently unversioned
+        files and directories to version control.  Once an object is
+        under Subversion's watchkeep, the ignore pattern mechanisms no
+        longer apply to it.  In other words, don't expect Subversion
+        to avoid committing changes you've made to a versioned file
+        simply because that file's name matches an ignore
+        pattern—Subversion <emphasis>always</emphasis> notices
