I guess I have to say that this is not possible. At least what I found
says:

Ignoring Versioned Items

Versioned files and folders can never be ignored - that's a feature of
Subversion. If you versioned a file by mistake, read Ignore files which
are already versioned for instructions on how to unversion it.
