As far as I know, this is a misstatement of how svn works. It uses svn:ignore properties, not .svnignore files, and they don't apply recursively, so this potential inconsistency wouldn't happen with svn. Of course, in the name of this consistency, svn gave up recursive ignores. So anyway, back on topic, the definition of a "well-organized repository" is different wth git than with svn for this reason. I would certainly expect most well-organized git repositories to have a toplevel .gitignore for the most common stuff.
