It's kind of hard diagnosing this kind of thing because I can't physically see it reproducing so all I can do is hit it with as big of a hammer as possible.  I guess I can wait and see if it happens again on another bot the next time I check something in, and if so I can try to get one of the bot owners to help me investigate.


Yeah, that sounds pretty strange. Although it could be because svn:ignore doesn't inherit (as opposed to svn:global-ignores).

Either way, this seems OK.
