auto-props bug?

I think I discovered a bug in how svn parses the config files.

I found that certain file types were not getting their auto-properties
set when svn add'ed, while others were.

The culprit turned out to be this line in my ~/.subversion/config file
in the [auto-props] section:

[mM]akefile = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Id

All of the file types from this line down were not getting recognized.
I worked around this by turning this one line into two--one for
"Makefile" and one for "makefile".

I suspect the problem is that the line begins with "[mM]" and svn is
interpreting this as a new section name, even though this is a valid
shell pattern and should be legal according to the description of
auto-props in the SVN book.

Just bringing this to your attention. The problem occurs in version
1.0.5 as well as 1.1.0 RC2, so it's likely been there for a while.
