I thought the convention was the opposite: show an example that can be
uncommented to make a difference. The entry right above the one you
changed is like that:
"[" CONFIG_SECTION_CACHES "]"
"### When a cache-related error occurs, normally Subversion ignores it"
"### and continues, logging an error if the server is appropriately"
"### configured (and ignoring it with file:// access). To make"
"### Subversion never ignore cache errors, uncomment this line."
"# " CONFIG_OPTION_FAIL_STOP " = true"
""
"[" CONFIG_SECTION_REP_SHARING "]"
"### To conserve space, the filesystem can optionally avoid storing"
"### duplicate representations. This comes at a slight cost in"
"### performance, as maintaining a database of shared representations can"
"### increase commit times. The space savings are dependent upon the size"
"### of the repository, the number of objects it contains and the amount of"
"### duplication between them, usually a function of the branching and"
"### merging process."
"###"
"### The following parameter enables rep-sharing in the repository. It can"
"### be switched on and off at will, but for best space-saving results"
"### should be enabled consistently over the life of the repository."
"# " CONFIG_OPTION_ENABLE_REP_SHARING " = true"
It would be best to state the default explicitly.
