Hi Daniel,

Sorry, that section is out of date, I corrected it. The --no-ignores
option still works for status, it's only for import and add that it
can't be overridden.

Here's my trunk WC (with no global-ignores set in my config):

  trunk_at_1406029>svn st --depth immediates
   M .
  ? cleanup.build.bat
  ? copy.svn.DEBUG.paths.bat
  ? copy.svn.RELEASE.paths.bat
  ? deleted-subtree-ranges-1.patch
  ? desktop.ini
  ? ignores
  ? run.RUBY.binding.tests.bat
  ? run.all.win-tests.DEBUG.bat
  ? run.all.win-tests.bat
  ? run.javahl.tests.bat
  ? run.python.test.DEBUG.bat
  ? run.python.test.RELEASE.bat
  ? sdc-reintegrate.diff
  ? set.svn.DEBUG.paths.bat
  ? set.svn.RELEASE.paths.bat
  ? set.up.SSD.bat
  ? subversion_vcnet.sln.cache
  ? svn-win32-Release-binaries
  ? svn.DEBUG.path.ONELINE.txt
  ? vc6-build.bat

I've set svn:global-ignores = "*.py" on the root of my WC:

  trunk_at_1406029>svn diff
  Index: .
  ===================================================================
  --- . (revision 1406029)
  +++ . (working copy)

  Property changes on: .
  ___________________________________________________________________
  Added: svn:global-ignores
  ## -0,0 +1 ##
  +*.py

Note that the unversioned *.py files are revealed with the --no-ignore option:
