That's fine, and thanks for asking.

No,
in that thread Bert was just describing the current
technical
situation behind the current
behaviour. It is a bug and I would like
it
to be fixed.
I filed issue
#4567, "svn diff --summarize with --ignore-properties
or
--properties-only":
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4567
It merely requires somebody to
invest the necessary time and effort to
design and implement it.

ignoring "--ignore-properties"?

Please consider either adding this "filtering", or
an error message in future releases.
Will do. Your enquiry has
sparked some discussion on #svn-dev IRC
channel where Stefan Sperling has already
proposed a patch to
implement it: http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/svn-dev?date=2015-03-23#l35
It looks very likely that we
will.
Thanks for the
prodding!
