should .subversion/config hint to ignore .DS_Store?

The config file installed into ~/.subversion (or wherever your
favorite platform puts these things) includes a commented-out
section, [miscellany], which includes a commented-out global-ignores
setting. While I realize this is all commented out, so very little
will go horribly wrong if it's slightly incomplete, still it's useful
documentation/hintage.

I think maybe it should include ".DS_Store" in the list of things to
global-ignore. This is a MacOS X thing; MacOS creates them freely in
the HFS+ volumes. I think I used to know what they are, but I forget
;-) Google will show you several discussions about getting them into
.cvsignore. Google wil also show you several .DS_Store files that
have already been checked into Subversion repositories, e.g. at
svn.sabi.net/.../ICeCoffEEE/. I very much suspect this was an error
;-)
