Re: MacOSX: svn:ignore - unable to add Icon0x0d

I think this has come up before and there isn't a fix, other than to not
do that... depending on what the icon is being displayed on, there may be
alternative ways of getting the icon displayed (e.g. adding it to a
bundle, Finder .DS_Store file, etc).

It was a bad idea when Apple implemented that back in the OS 8/9 days. It
was doubly bad when Apple brought that forward to OS X. It breaks all
sorts of command line stuff.
