SVN ignore certain files only one directory level below

Question

I have a certain gradle multiproject on svn. When I check out to local directory and do gradle eclipse, .classpath and .project files are created in each subproject directory (directory structure below) which should be further ignored by svn.

myproject
  -A
    -src (several directories under src)
    -lib (several directories under lib)
    -.classpath
    -.project
  -B
    -src (several directories under src)
    -lib (several directories under lib)
    -.classpath
    -.project
  -C
    -src (several directories under src)
    -lib (several directories under lib)
    -.classpath
    -.project
  -build.gradle

When using svn:ignore property as so svn propset svn:ignore -R -F .svnignore . (contents of .svnignore file below) it affects all the sub-directories as required however it also affects all the sub-sub directories and changes their property which is not required (i.e./src and ./lib and every level under that). Now what I am trying to do is only ignore .classpath and .project one directory level below, i.e. each sub-project and no deeper than that, something like svn propset svn:ignore -F .svnignore .*\

Contents of .svnignore file:

.classpath

.project

Why you don't want to have 3 separate propset for A,B,C only (non-recursively)?
Perform partial checkout|update of myproject (with --depth 'immediates'), execute your old svn propset, get missing objects|return depth state by update with --set-depth 'immediates'
