config file priority

[Michael L Brown <mi...@philips.com>]

According to page 134 of the physical paperback book, the Configuration 
Area Layout sections says that the user defined config file overrides 
settings in the system wide config file.

I think I just found an area where it "combines" the settings of the 
system-wide file.  To wit:

My file:
        [auto-props]
        *.c = svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision 
LastChangedBy HeadURL
        *.cc = svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision 
LastChangedBy HeadURL
        *.h = svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision 
LastChangedBy HeadURL
        *.f = svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision 
LastChangedBy HeadURL
        *.sh = svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision 
LastChangedBy HeadURL

System-wide:
        [auto-props]
        * = svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision 
LastChangedBy HeadURL

The result: the keywords still get applied to binary files.  Oops!  The 
server does not ignore the list that is in the system-wide file, if there 
is a list in the user's config file.

Either the software has a bug (doubtful) or the documentation needs to be 
changed to mention this problem.

I've now changed the system-wide to look like mine :-)
