Re: TortoiseSVN Add and global-ignores

Sorry, I should have been more specific : I'm not explicitly adding an item
that is ignored. Rather, I'm adding a folder that contains ignored items.
And Tortoise is behaving differently from core Subversion.

Consider the following working copy, with the property svn:global-ignores
set to "*.log" on "/trunk" :

    /trunk/
    /trunk/folder1/

Then create the following files and directory :

    /trunk/folder1/app/
    /trunk/folder1/app/run.log
    /trunk/folder1/app/main.cpp

With the core Subversion command-line, if you run "svn add app" from the
"folder1" directory, svn will respect the inherited svn:global-ignores
property, and add "app/" and "main.cpp", but *not* "run.log".

With TortoiseSVN, if you execute the "Add" command on the "app" directory,
TSVN will *not* respect the svn:global-ignores, and will add everything,
including "run.log". I feel that in the "Add" dialog, the ignored files and
folders should at least be unchecked by default. Maybe they should even not
appear at all.
