Hi, setting the svn property svn:global-ignores to the repository root (or some higher level directory in the repository) - it obviously does not get inherited if I only checkout and work in some lower-level directory (until subversion-1.8.9) .
It looks like the parent directory containing the svn:global-ignores property must be present in the workspace. This seems to be in contrast to e.g. the svn:auto-props property which may not be present in the workspace - it seems to be looked for also on the server - which is what I expect. So the effect of the current svn:global-ignores handling is that the client behavior depends on the hierarchy which is checked out in the workspace. Can you reproduce this bahvior? Regards, Matthias
