Yes, this is a bug. The function filter_unwanted_props() in libsvn_wc/wc_db.c seems filters out the cached global-ignores prop because the property names it compares are different (one is qualified with "svn:" and the other isn't), even though they should be the same: 10240 if (strcmp(ipropname, propname) != 0) (gdb) p ipropname $5 = 0x21281cfda20 "global-ignores" (gdb) p propname $6 = 0x211f750bba6 "svn:global-ignores" I'm not sure off-hand how to fix this. I've filed http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4515 Thanks for your report.
