I configured ignore-paths as follows:
     svn-remote.svn.ignore-paths=^DB.*

I expected this would exclude paths of this kind on the initial fetch:
     DB/.project

I have the same issue here. I'm failing to import multiple svn
repository into Git and --ignore-paths provides me no cure.

One thing to be aware of is that --ignore-paths doesn't work across svn
branches.  I tried to ignore entire branches using it and it didn't
work.  I had to resort to importing chunks of revisions at a time,
skipping the ones that created and merged branches I didn't care about.
