I think that svn:global-ignores should work the same as svn:ignore. So
if --no-ignore option disregard svn:ignore then it should disregard
svn:global-ignores.
This is also true for svn:auto-props.
/bike-shed note: why property named "svn:global-ignores", not
"svn:global-ignore"? It will be looking more consistent with
"svn:ignore".
