Fwd: Default value for global-ignores - Import excluded .so files
Forwarding to dev since this seems more like a dev issue. Thanks.

More info. Between 1.4.6 and 1.5.0 .so files were added to the default
values in
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.5.0/subversion/include/svn_config.h.
Again my point is that I think these default values are dangerous and that
nothing should be ignored by default.

I was thinking it was dev in the sense that I'm suggesting a change in
Subversion itself, which requires the developers to be involved in the
conversation. I'll stay on users though if that is where I should be.
Thanks.

Why is this a dev issue? I mean does it pertain the development OF
subversion? Or the use and development WITH subversion?
Bye,
Erik.
