Is he? I don't read it that way.

The well-kicked dead horse was about svn globbing or not at the time of
command invocation (with some side-kicks into allowing both shell and
svn globbing, with different effect ... Hmmm ... Anyway ...)

Here, I think the idea is that the glob would not be interpreted at the
time the "*" was typed (the time of propset), and hence the shell would
have no chance to do what's proposed. Rather, I think the idea is that
the "*" itself would be stored off at propset time; sometime later
(e.g., at some subsequent "svn add" moment), the *-stored-at-propset
would once again be consulted, and might cause ignoring some of the args
(or printing of warnings, or requiring of --force, depending on which
fork the discussion takes next).

Innit?
