That file is read by the subversion library, not by TortoiseSVN
itself. I suspect your editor is adding a UTF-8 byte order mark at the
start which is making Subversion disregard the rest of the content.
You should report this on the subversion mailing list so the
developers there can do something about making it more tolerant.
