RE: [PATCH] Allow more than one pattern per line in svn:ignore

I haven't looked at how svn_cstring_split_append() works, but I'm guessing
it doesn't handle path quoting or escaping. If I can't use spaces in my
file names, I don't like the patch.

e.g. # svn ps svn:ignore test\ data .

Subject: [PATCH] Allow more than one pattern per line in svn:ignore

This is a very little patch to allow svn:ignore to hold more than one
pattern per line. It copies the pattern splitting arguments from those
used for global-ignores.

As this is virtually my first toe-in-the-water, I'm don't expect to be
perfect. For one thing I haven't run the tests (I'm not sure how to get
them working on win32), but I have tested it informally.

Edmund Horner.

Log:

Allow more than one svn:ignore pattern per line.

* subversion/libsvn_wc/status.c
     (collect_ignore_patterns): Split the svn:ignore property string
         on any of "n\r\t\v " (as is used with global-ignores) to
         allow more allow than one pattern per line.

* doc/book/book/ch06.xml
     (svn-ch-6-sect-2.3.3): Explain that patterns can be separated by
          newlines or by spaces (instead of requiring one per line).
