Syntax of svn:global-ignores

[Ruben Stein <ru...@rstein.de>]

Hi,

The Wiki (Linked via 1.8 release notes) documents the syntax of 
svn:global-ignores as being "A whitespace-delimited collection of file 
patterns". I just tried this out and had no success. However, using 
newline as delimiter works fine (like documented in 'svn help propset').

I pushed that to the channel and got answer from danielsh, who described 
that this might be a problem due to an inconsistency between the syntax 
of 'stauts' and 'import'. While status uses only newline as separator, 
'import' uses any whitespace.

Regards
Ruben

Thanks for the report Ruben.  I filed an issue to track this:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4380

If nobody beats me to it, I'll fix this in the next few days and
endeavor to get it into 1.8.1.
