I'm trying to exclude subversion's folders from being tracked by git. I tried a couple different setups for .git/info/exclude, but it doesn't seem to work. I would use git-svn, but it's a pain to request access to get that to work, so I'd rather just work around this by excluding the folders.

I want to exclude ".svn/entries"

I've tried adding the following lines to .git/info/exlude:
.svn
entries
.svn/entries
*entries*
*svn*

No matter what I try, .svn entries shows up when I run git status
