<p>I could find no reference to this in <a href="https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.externals.html" rel="nofollow">https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.externals.html</a></p>
<p>I was able to source this behavior to the source code: <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/svn/svn.c" rel="nofollow">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/svn/svn.c</a><br/>
<code>Lines starting with a '#' character are ignored.\n"</code></p>
<p>Adding this to the documentation would help clarify the behavior.</p>
