Sorry for late reply due to a holiday for me.
My team upgraded SVN from v1.4.6 to v1.5.5 (TSVN v1.4.8 to v1.5.6) recently.
In svn v1.4, svn didn't use default ignore list; while svn 1.5.5 uses.
It makes every member confused.
If TSVN can show the default ignore list, it should be perfect, because
every member should know this background and delete all the default ignore.

Since TSVN v1.6 will show the default ignore list, is it possible to also
fix this in TSVN v1.5.x? (v1.5.7 fix this?)
This issue even makes our members to begin to doubt the stability of TSVN
v1.5. :-(
And now we cannot upgrade SVN to v1.6, which is still a developing version.

Anyway, I confirm again, if I add the following registry item:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config\miscellany]
"global-ignores"=""

Is this OK for all users?
I tested and seemed to work.
If this is temporary patch, it will decrease the deploy cost for us.

Thanks a lot, your hints will bring us great help.
