svn:global-ignores limited to workspace dirs?

Hi,

setting the svn property svn:global-ignores to the repository root (or some
higher level directory in the repository) - it obviously does not get inherited
 if I only checkout and work in some lower-level directory (until
subversion-1.8.9) .

It looks like the parent directory containing the svn:global-ignores property
must be present in the workspace. This seems to be in contrast to e.g. the
svn:auto-props property which may not be present in the workspace - it seems to
be looked for also on the server - which is what I expect.

So the effect of the current svn:global-ignores handling is that the client
behavior depends on the hierarchy which is checked out in the workspace.

Can you reproduce this bahvior?

Regards,
Matthias
