(Get the code!)
On windows, it will silently remove trailing whitespace from filenames under certain conditions. We have a test that our Bundle code is able to send a filename that ends in a whitespace and it will be correctly seen when merging that patch. And it was failing on Windows for some reason.... Took a bit to track that down.
IIRC, it was doing it for both NTFS and FAT32.
So I see a couple possibilities:
a) Strip whitespace from the ignore patterns when reading from .bzrignore (if we are going to do trailing whitespace, I would do leading whitespace, too)
b) Strip whitespace from the command line arguments to "bzr ignore". That doesn't help people who use "echo" though.
I'd probably like to do both...
