git-svn: --ignore-paths appears to be ignored

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

but when I run git svn fetch, paths of this kind actually do get pulled.

I have also tried:

    svn-remote.svn.ignore-paths=^DB

with the same result.

I am using git version 1.7.9.264

What am I doing wrong?
