Guidlines for setting of config file for Subversion dev

[Mark Phippard <Ma...@softlanding.com>]

I couldn't find anything in HACKING for this.  Is there a standard config
file you like committers to use when working on Subversion?  I am mostly
thinking about auto-props.  When I commit the EBCDIC port on Monday there
will be a handul of new files added.  I would like to get the settings
right the first time.

I can obviously just look at some of the other files, and set the props
manually, but I would prefer to do it right.

Thanks

Heh!  That's certainly a good description of how I feel about them.

Or a better MIME type where possible.

There is no standard - I suspect many people find auto-props an incomplete 
solution, and thus do not bother to use them at all.

My impression of the unspoken consensus is:

Set/edit svn:ignore as necessary.
Set svn:eol-style=native on text files.
Make sure that svn:mime-type=application/octet-stream is set on binary 
files.

Max.
