Documentation of svn:ignore

[David Glasser]

The SVN Book doesn't particularly document the format of the
svn:ignore property, unless I'm missing something.  I ended up
grovelling through the Subversion and APR sources to eventually find
that the respected metacharacters are *?[\, and specifically *not*
parentheses.

Is this lack of documentation intentional, to allow room for later
expansion of svn:ignore (I've heard mumblings about regexps, for
example)? Or is it something you'd appreciate patches for?

Thanks,
dave
