[Chandler-dev] Be careful when updating svn:ignore (or other properties)

Please be careful if you update svn properties using any tool other 
than the command-line svn client.

The svn:ignore property on the chandler/ directory contained 
inconsistent newlines and after googling for a reason as to how they 
got in there - it appears that some "helper" apps like Subclipse (and 
others) can cause this error.

If you do feel the urge to modify the properties using one of the 
tools, please ping me so I can "verify" or "validate" that the tool 
used does it properly.

I was able to fix the error by using my amazing-super-svn-fu so we 
should be ok now.

Well, ok, sure - all I did was cat chandler/.svn/dir-props - but hey! 
it sure sounded hard when I described it to one of my cats :)
