If so, that's very surprising, and if the red-bean book is correct that "Subversion uses the one most commonly found in Unix systems implemented as the fnmatch system function," a bug in SVN.
No it's not true. *.vshost.exe* _will_ match
somefile.vshost.exe.manifest, as will *sho*, as will *t.e*. The dot
character does not have any special treatment. The real issue seems to
be multiple ignores on one line which is not supported at all.
