svn propset -R failure

[Nathan Dauchy <nd...@hpti.com>]

I ran across a problem recursively setting properties, shown below.  Is 
this a known bug, new problem, or am I doing something I shouldn't?

$ svn propset svn:keywords Id * -R
property 'svn:keywords' set (recursively) on 'base'
property 'svn:keywords' set (recursively) on 'CHANGES'
property 'svn:keywords' set (recursively) on 'config'
property 'svn:keywords' set (recursively) on 'extras'
property 'svn:keywords' set (recursively) on 'Makefile'
svn: 'Makefile.save' is not under version control

After this, the property is set on only half of the files in the 
repository.  Now, I can work around this by running the command on each 
of the missing files and directories, but if there were multiple files 
in my working copy not under version control that would be a major pain.

I did try the --force option, but that had the same outcome.

I am using svn+ssh.

The client is running on SuSE 9.1:
svn, version 1.0.6 (dev build)
    compiled Jul  6 2004, 15:02:48

The server is running on FC 2:
svn, version 1.0.4 (r9844)
    compiled Jun  7 2004, 11:41:25

Thanks for the help, and please let me know if I can provide any more 
information.

-Nathan

Not a bug.

* is replaced by your shell by all files that match, whether or not
they're in svn.

There's two ways to do what you want to do... do a recursive propset
from your current directory:
# svn propset svn:keywords Id . -R

or, use command substitution (bash example):
# svn propset svn:keywords Id `svn ls` -R

The former is more efficient, but the latter is more interesting.  :)
