It does. You just have to follow the format of the config file.

That's wrong. You have to write it:
[miscellany]
enable-auto-props = yes
[auto-props]
*.txt = svn:eol-style=native

The file is called "config", not "Config". Even though windows doesn't
differ between such filenames, Subversion does.

It is. Just use TSVN to update/checkout/commit something and the file
will be created.

After you added the file, check the properties by selecting the file,
right-click, choose "properties" and go to the Subversion tab.

It doesn't ignore those settings. They will even override any settings
you do in the settings dialog!

No. The config file has a higher priority than the registry settings.
