Recursive Setting of Id Keyword dies prematurely

["Moretti, Giovanni" <G....@massey.ac.nz>]

I've got a working copy set up in the usual fashion:

 

   /WC

            Proj1

                        Trunk

                                    A.pas

                                    B.pas

                        Branches

                        Tags

            Proj2

                        Trunk

                                    D.pas

                        Branches

                                    C.pas

                        Tags

And I'm wanting to turn on the "Id" keyword on all pascal files (*.pas).

 

This would seem to be easy:

-          go to the /wc directory

-          use svn propset with the recursive option

 

 

eg.  svn -R propset svn:keywords Id *.pas

 

Unfortunately this seems to stop whenever it finds a folder without any
.pas files  (eg Proj1 which contains no files, just the /Trunk, /Tags &
/Branches directories).

 

The --force option doesn't help either.

 

The help on propset seems to hint at this but only after you've had it
fail does the message make sense: 

 

"The svn:Keywords ... and a recursive attempt will set the 

property only on the file children of the directory"

 

Is there any straightforward way (on a WinXP system) of setting "id"
property on all *.pas files using just svn commands, or is it necessary
to use a multistage process using -F to pipe the file list in, or
alternatively, use cygwin & find ... -exec svn {}  ?

 

Thanks

Giovanni

Sounds like you've decided to set up auto-props to apply the Id  
keyword expansion on all .pas files, but have noticed that auto-props  
only applies to new files, not existing ones, and are now trying to  
fix the properties on the existing files.

There's a script already written to do that:

http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/tags/1.3.0/contrib/client-side/ 
svn_apply_autoprops.py?view=markup

There's a newer rewritten version of the script which is faster and  
also works with SVK:

http://matt-good.net/2005/12/23/new-and-improved-svn-apply-autoprops- 
py-now-with-more-svk/

I don't know if either script works on Windows though.
