Re: File attributes

[Gustavo Guerra <gm...@acm.org>]

Suppose I have a file somefile.txt with the hidden attribute in 
c:\somefolder
I do a "svn import file://somerepository/somedir"
Then i go to C:\somefolder2 and do "svn co file://somerepository/somedir". I 
got somefile.txt back without the hidden attribute. I would like the file to 
comeback with the hidden attribute.
If i manually hide the file again with "attrib +h somefile" when I do 
updates, the file continues hidden, that's ok. But if i delete the file, and 
update the dir, the file cames back without the hidden attribute again. Also 
If I remove the hidden attribute and commit, I would like when someone 
checks out in other places, the hidden attribute would go away on update 
also.

I currently need this onlu for the hidden attribute, but it also would be 
nice to also have for the read-only attribute. I know unix doesn't have the 
hidden attribute, but windows doesn't have the executable attribute and you 
save it, ignoring it when checking out or updating in windows. I would like 
the hidden state to be versioned, and when checked out in unix just ignored.

Gidday Gustavo,

I've been a SVN-User reader for a while and so feel obliged to make a 
contribution.

SVN knows somethng as being "executable" as it sets the SVN property 
svn:executable:

 > svn proplist ExecutableFile
svn:executable
...

The Subversion people could add the automatic use of a hidden property, 
or perhaps a Windows client such as SVNTortoise could:
if (svn propget svn:hidden HiddenFile == "*") {
	WindowsSetToHidden(HiddenFile);
}

AND

if (WindowsIsTheFileHidden(HiddenFile)) {
	svn propset svn:hidden HiddenFile;
}

Arbitrary properties can be set though I'd say the ones that start with 
'svn:' should be used only by SVN.

Cheers,

Brooke
