All correct. When using autoversioning, you are accessing the
repository using a normal DAV client, i.e. one which is not a
Subversion client and therefore has no concept of Subversion notions
such as ignores or eol-style translation or keyword expansion or auto-
props.

Not sure how to prevent this when using autoversioning, sorry.
