[BOOK] Minor modifications

Hi,

While using subversion-1.1.1, I noticed 2 details to clarify in the book:
1)  Chap7, sect 2.3.3, svn:ignore property
    It is not clearly stated that each ignored pattern should be alone 
on one line
    (something like .cvsignore).
2) Chap9, sect 1.2, svn status
    '~' Item is versioned as a directory, but has been replaced by a 
file, or vice versa
    should be replaced by something like
    '~' Item is versioned as a type (file, directory, link, ...) 
replaced locally by another
    In fact, if you replace a versioned file by a link, '~' is output by 
svn status (even if
    it is not a directory).

Thanks for your great work,
Eric
P.S. May I also tell you that there is a cosmetic bug in 'svn propget 
svn:ignore <item>'
command which always adds a spurious '\n' at the end of the property list.

?  I'm looking at:  
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2.3.3

...and right below the grey box:

   "For this purpose, the svn:ignore  property is the solution. Its 
value is a multi-line  collection of file patterns, one pattern per 
line."
