Subversion doesn't allow empty values for properties. So TSVN doesn't
allow that either.

That said: the svn:ignore property must never be empty. It must have a
value, otherwise nothing is ignored and you should just remove the property.

If you really need to set a property with 'no' value (e.g.
svn:needs-lock), then Subversion suggests you just enter a '*' char as
its value.
