~/.subversion/server too picky

Hi,
Recently I had to configure a few machines to use a webcache when accessing
external http svn servers.

The section in the servers file I changed looks like:

[global]
# http-proxy-exceptions = *.exception.com, www.internal-site.org
# http-proxy-host = defaultproxy.whatever.com
# http-proxy-port = 8080

I changed it to:
[global]
# http-proxy-exceptions = *.exception.com, www.internal-site.org
 http-proxy-host = defaultproxy.whatever.com
 http-proxy-port = 8080

Notice the spaces before the two uncommented lines. When I tried to use svn
it complained:
svn: /home/user/.subversion/servers:68: Option expected

This took me a minute or two to figure out that the space was causing the
problems, and if I removed it then it works how I wanted it.

I was looking at filling a bug report, and possibly submitting a patch that
made the parsing a little less picky (i.e. to ignore whitespace before an
option). Now if others agree with this change I'll be happy to look into
doing it.

Thanks
Andrew
